The name "Huayruro" derives from the seed of the Huayruro plant ( Ormosia sp ) that is found growing in Peruvian rainforests. This seed is characterized by being both part red and part black, visually suggesting a complementary and duality of color. Perhaps due to this unusual natural characteristic there has been a belief among Peruvians that these seeds have both the power to attract good fortune and ward off evil spirits, to those who were them. These beautiful red and black seeds are also known as " prayer beans, rosary beans, crabs eye and lady bug seeds". Add a "green" piece of jewelry to your collection.
