White Sandalwood Mala 108 Beads

White Sandalwood Mala 108 Beads: a crystal mala for everyday wear, chosen for its look as much as for the traditions attached to the stone.

This mala is made with crystal beads with 108 beads. Since the listing does not name each stone, refer to the photos for colours and bead mix.

About this kind of piece

Every stone has traditional associations, but the simplest reason to wear one is that you like it. Crystal jewellery blends colour, texture and tradition, and most people choose a stone as much for its look as for its meaning.

Product details

• Style: mala
• Beads: 108

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

A mala is a thoughtful gift for anyone who meditates, chants or is beginning a japa practice. A soft dry cloth is all it needs for cleaning. It is a fairly durable stone, but still keep it away from perfume, hairspray and hard knocks. Keep it dry, handle it gently and store it in a cloth pouch between uses.

Shade, pattern and finish differ a little from piece to piece, as they do in all stone. Curious about a specific piece? Just ask before ordering and we will help.
