It can be seen from the picture that if the moon eyes obtained after shelling and skinning Xingyue Bodhi are to be in the middle of the plane, the left and right parts will be cut off. Therefore, after shelling and peeling the Xingyue bodhi seeds, the bead shape is closer to that of an apple circle. In the car mill, the apple circle is the least expensive, while the barrel beads need to be cut up and down, and the round beads need to be cut up and down, left and right. And if the moon eye is to be in the middle, more parts need to be cut, which is why the Xingyue Bodhi of the first month is more expensive than the Xingyue Bodhi of the Xuanyue.
