DESCRIPTION

One of a kind, contemporary 108 bead meditation mala with Bodhi seed beads. Bodhi seeds have traditionally been significant to seekers of divine wisdom because Buddha became enlightened under a bodhi tree. Bodhi trees continue to symbolise a sense of peace and wisdom on one's path enlightenment. The three dividers are a combination of a lightly faceted Citrine with small Hematite and Smokey Quartz crystals. The guru bead consists of raw, rough cut Aquamarine with three long knotted crystal strands that each end in a Bodhi seed. The Bodhi seed counter beads are spaced with small matte brown glass seed beads in asymmetrical organic shapes. The mala is knotted with golden brown micro-macrame cord at every nine bead interval around a Smokey Quartz crystal. This mala has a light organic feel, with the Bodhi seed beads softly flowing through the fingers when handled. The Citrine and copper-plated Hematite adds uplifting sparkle to this one-of-a-kind mala.
