These beads are white and larger than our other personal protective beads. They are also a bit more fragile. The reason we carry them is that certain people are so sensitized to energetic stimulation that very gentle protection is is more suitable for them. If you or one you love fits this description this bead is for you. After using the White bead for a while it may be appropriate to graduate to one of the other beads or to one of our pendants.
