DESCRIPTION

One-of-a-kind, contemporary 108-bead meditation mala with Picture Jasper counter beads. The three dividers are a combination of Topaz, Citrine and a small Picture Jasper bead. The guru bead consists of a rough cut Topaz and a 3-strand gemstone 'tassel' ending in faceted Flower Agate crystals.

I have knotted each counter bead one by one for durability and ease of handling, using strong golden brown micro-macrame cord. This mala comes in one of Spirit Carrier's handmade cork ('vegan leather') pouches for safe-keeping.

All around length of mala: 128 cm (50")
Counter bead diameter: 1 cm (0.4")
Length of guru bead combination: 7 cm (2.8")
Please note that whilst the counter bead size makes this mala a stunning meditation aid, the larger size may for some feel too heavy for regular wearing.

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 Spirit Carrier 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.
