108 Beads Mala Necklace with Prayer Tassel

Crystal is a long-standing favourite in protective-stone traditions, and this mala keeps it close around your neck or in your hands in an easy everyday form.

This mala is made with crystal beads with 108 beads. The listing title does not name the stones. The earlier description mentions Picture Jasper, Lapis Lazuli and Rhodochrosite, so check the product photos for the actual bead mix.

About the stones mentioned

It is linked in tradition with grounding and calm; every piece has its own pattern. Lapis lazuli is a deep blue stone flecked with gold-coloured pyrite and streaks of white calcite. In crystal tradition, black tourmaline, obsidian and labradorite are the stones most often chosen for a sense of protection and grounding. Protective symbols and stones appear in many cultures, from the evil-eye charm in India to amulets around the Mediterranean.

Using your mala

For japa, count each repetition of a mantra on one bead, turning the beads with the thumb and middle finger and stopping at the larger guru (meru) bead rather than crossing it. It can also be worn as a necklace or wrapped around the wrist.

Gifting and care

Gift a mala with its intention in mind: the material and the tradition attached to it make the choice personal. Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. It is a fairly durable stone, but still keep it away from perfume, hairspray and hard knocks. Avoid water, perfume and rough handling, and keep it wrapped in a soft cloth when not in use.

Expect small differences in shade, pattern and finish between pieces; that is the character of stone. If you need specific details about a piece, message us before you order.
