Wrist Size Red Catalin Bakelite Tasbih, Barley Cut Oval Beads 5x7.5mm A delicate wrist-size tasbih made of Catalin (Bakelite), the synthetic phenolic resin loved by collectors for its warm glow and smooth feel. The small barley-cut oval beads come in a rich red "fire amber" color that catches the light beautifully, and the size is the most popular choice for wearing around the wrist or carrying in a pocket. Finished with a silver-plated metal tassel, it is a practical piece for daily dhikr and a thoughtful gift. ABOUT THE MATERIAL This tasbih is made of synthetic phenolic resin (known as Bakelite, Catalin or "faturan"). It is not natural amber and it is not made from natural amber pieces. It is a man-made material produced from chemicals such as phenol. Its warm glow and rich amber-like color are why it has been popular for prayer beads for decades. As it is handled over time, the color can gradually deepen, and well-aged Catalin pieces are highly sought after by collectors. We list it clearly as synthetic so you know exactly what you are buying.
