Shah Maqsood Stone Tasbih, Afghan Prayer Beads, 33 Beads

This Afghan tasbih is crafted from Shah Maqsood stone, a rare green chalcedony found exclusively in Helmand Province, prized for its deep jade-like translucence and polished glassy finish. The 33 beads—traditionally used for dhikr and daily prayer—are handmade with careful attention to symmetry and the natural variations of each stone. A piece valued across Afghan, Persian, and Central Asian traditions, it serves both as a spiritual tool and a cultural artifact.
