DESCRIPTION

Contemporary meditation mala with traditional Tibetan Buddhist bead count of 108 with black & white banded Agate, Black Tourmaline and clear Quartz.

The main counter beads are Agate. The three dividers in the mala consist of Black Tourmaline and clear Quartz crystals. The guru bead is a combination of Black Tourmaline and a smooth clear Quartz pebble.

The counter beads are individually knotted by hand for ease of handling, with black micro-macrame cord. This mala comes in one of my 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.

All around length of mala: 140 cm (55.4")
Counter bead diameter: 1 cm (0.4")
Length of the guru bead combination: just under 5 cm (2")

I draw artistic inspiration for these contemporary yoga meditation beads from the ancient decorative Buddhist malas from Tibet that were often given as gifts to Chinese courts and called "Chinese court necklaces". I match the stones and crystals carefully to create an energetic combination in the mala that will benefit the keeper in an individual way. All of my malas are one-of-a-kind.

Whilst this mala is made with Tibetan Buddhist bead count (108 beads), all Spirit Carrier malas are dedicated to the Highest Good of All – its future keeper may bless the mala for their own purpose and use it for their own personal way of meditation.

CRYSTAL PROPERTIES

Mala healing properties:

AGATE
The oldest good luck amulet. In ancient times Persian magicians were, according to legend, diverting storms with the powers of Agate. Considered a protective stone (especially for travel), said to shield its keeper against dangers. Increases inner stability, enhances personal courage and fosters self-confidence. Grounding and soothing. Balancing of one's yin-yang energies.

BLACK TOURMALINE
One of the most well-known protective stones, shielding its user from negativity. It purifies and transforms denser energies into lighter vibrations and is also detoxifying for the body. If you're sensitive to electromagnetic smog, you may get relief by wearing black Tourmaline.

CLEAR QUARTZ
The universal master crystal that has a harmonising effect on all levels of being. Programmable by intention, so can be used for versatile purposes. Quartz can clear, enhance, amplify, transmute, balance, focus and transmit energy. Raises one's energetic vibration. Attunes its keeper to their higher self. Known as the "Stone of Power" and "Master Healer".
