DESCRIPTION

One of a kind, contemporary 108-bead meditation mala with Chrysocolla counter beads. The three dividers are a combination of rough cut Emerald and Apatite crystals. The guru bead consists of a further Emerald, combined with Lapis Lazuli and a knotted 'tassel' of matching crystals, ending in small Abalone shell pieces mainly in blue tones.

Each counter bead is knotted one by one for durability and ease of handling, using midnight blue micro-macrame cord. 

All around length of mala: 115 cm (45")
Counter bead diameter: 0.8 cm (0.3")
The width of the divider combination: approx. 6 cm (2.4")
Length of guru bead crystal and tassel: 7.5 cm (3")

Please note that Spirit Carrier malas come usually in three sizes, determined by the diameter of the main counter beads - either 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm. This mala is the smallest size with 8 mm counter bead diameter and is probably more suited to be worn on you than the larger, heavier malas.

This mala comes in one of Spirit Carrier's handmade cork ('vegan leather') pouches for safe-keeping. Gift-wrapped at no extra charge.
