Question: I see two choices \\\'Natural tulsi wood\\\' and \\\'Black\\\' (Silver Tulsi Mala). Is the Black beaded mala not Natural Tulsi wood? How is the bead black? Do they paint tulsu beads black?

 Answer: Natural here is referring to the color of the beads, as they are not dyed with any color. The black beads are made of natural tulsi wood also, but they are dyed black.

Question: Is this pure silver?

This product is high quality sterling silver, which differs from pure silver. Sterling silver is an alloy created when copper is added to pure silver to make it more durable. Normallyy, sterling silver has a purity of about 93%, meaning that 7% of the alloy is made of copper or another metal like nickel or zinc.

Question: How many beads are there in 41 cm and 61 cm necklaces?

 Answer: There is not a particular number of beads, it is done by length, not by number of beads. These are hand made and tulsi beads are varying a bit in size. So there is no exact number of beads, it is by length.
