Faces of Rudraksha and their benefits
Amongst the different types/faces of the Rudraksha, the uncommon are those more than 16 faceted beads. The reason being that in each seasonal harvest of Rudrakshas it usually yields plenty of the two- to 16-faceted beads but only one or two of the ones with more faces, with the 21-faceted bead being particularly rare.
