Rudraksh, Rudraksha

According to Shiva Purana in Hindu mythology, while fighting with the demon Tripurasura, Lord Shiva had hurt his eyes and a few drops of tears shed from his eyes. Seeing that Lord Brahma turned those tears into a tree whose fruits are called rudraksh. It is said that whoever would wear these rudraksh would be protected by Lord Shiva.

If you too are planning to buy one of these rudraksh then a word of caution. Even though you would find numerous shops selling these rudraksh, they might be selling a fake one.
