DESCRIPTION

Unique 108 bead meditation mala with agarwood counter beads, emulating the look and feel of some ancient Tibetan mala beads. The three dividers are each a different combination of crystals (Lapis Lazuli, Citrine, Hematite, Amethyst, red & yellow Tiger Eye) and also each divider with an antique yak bone bead that has been inlaid with small slices of Turquoise and Carnelian, with strands of silk and cotton. The guru bead consists of rough Spessartine Garnet and Verdelite, together with a long tassel made of botanically eco-dyed recycled sari silk, soft cotton yarn with two knotted crystal strands of Citrine, Carnelian, Tiger Eye and Crazy Lace Agate.

Agarwood is traditionally regarded as a valuable aid on one's spiritual journey, bringing enlightenment and clarity as well as a sense of deep inner peace. Experienced practitioners recommend agarwood for providing motivation and devotion for meditation.

The wooden counter beads are spaced with matte brown and golden tone glass seed beads in organic shapes, and knotted with brown micro-macrame cord at every nine bead interval around a small crystal, such as Citrines and Carnelians. This mala has a shamanic feel, with the wooden beads softly following the contours of your hand when handled.

All around length of mala: 99 cm (39")
Counter bead diameter: 0.6 cm (0.2")
The width of the divider combination: approx. 2.5 cm (1") 
Length of guru bead & tassel combination: 14 cm (5.5")

This mala comes in one of Spirit Carrier's handmade soft black leather pouches for safe-keeping. If you would rather have a fabric pouch, please let me know at the time of purchase. 

You'll receive this mala gift-wrapped at no extra charge.
