DESCRIPTION

One of a kind, contemporary 108 bead meditation mala with Lapis Lazuli counter beads. The three dividers are a combination of Ruby, Rose Quartz (the rare Madagascan variety, naturally dark pink). The guru bead and 'tassel' consist of Ruby, Citrine, Rose Quartz and Lapis Lazuli.

Each counter bead is meticulously knotted by hand - one by one, for durability and ease of handling - using muted pink micro-macrame cord.

All around length of mala: 122 cm (47")
Counter bead diameter: 1 cm (0.4") 
The width of the divider combination: approx. 3 cm (1.2") 
Length of guru bead combination: 7 cm (2.75")

This mala comes in one of my handmade soft brown leather pouches for safe-keeping (and gift-wrapped for no extra charge). If you would rather have a fabric pouch, please let me know at the time of purchase.

~~~~~~~~
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.
