DESCRIPTION

Meditation mala bracelet with 18 counter beads consisting of a combination of: Picture Jasper, Picasso Jasper, Lava Stone, Smokey Quartz, Larvikite and Black Agate. The divider is Leopardskin Jasper, accented by Smokey Quartz, Lava Stone and further small Zebra Jasper crystals. The closing clasp is two toggle stones, Leopardskin Jasper and Larvikite - both can be slipped through the knotted loop to secure the bracelet close. The counter beads are knotted individually for strength and flexibility, using earthy greenish brown micro-macrame cord.

This is a handy meditation / mantra aid for times when you'd like something smaller than a full mala. You can still count up to 108 with these bracelet beads - or in multiples of 27 if you prefer. Simply count back and forth over the divider as many rounds as needed. Use the toggle crystals as the guru bead.

Whilst the total length of this bracelet, including the toggle, is 22 cm (8.5") it would make a good fit for up to a 7.5" wrist circumference. As the counter bead diameter is 0.8 cm (0.3") and 18 beads are required, this bracelet by nature is longer and more loose, giving also more space for the fingers when moving from one bead to the next.

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