These are Round-Semi Round cut beads of Taiwan Hokutolite. Hokutolite, which emits natural radiation, exists in only two locations: Beitou Hot Spring in Taiwan and Tamagawa Hot Spring in Akita Prefecture, Japan. In Japan, it was designated as a natural monument in 1922 and a special natural monument in 1952, and its mining is now prohibited. It is said to emit radiation due to its radium content, promoting health. Hokutolite commonly distributed as round beads is ceramic processed. Our products are similarly processed, characterized by stable quality, shape, and radiation emission.
