The guru bead consists of Larvikite, Dalmaian Jasper and a crystal 'tassel' of Dalmatian Jasper, Snowflake Obsidian & Pyrite.

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

All around length of mala: 135 cm (53")
Counter bead diameter: 1 cm (0.4")
Length of guru bead combination: 6 cm (2.4")

Please note that Spirit Carrier malas come usually in three sizes, determined by the diameter of the main counter beads - either 8 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm. This mala is the medium size with 10 mm counter bead diameter.

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.

CRYSTAL PROPERTIES

LARVIKITE (aka Black Labradorite, Norwegian Moonstone)
Repels negative energy and can make you more adaptable to life's situations. It also stimulates inner visions so it's very suited to meditation. Black Labradorite is also said to connect with nature spirits. On physical level, it is said to be good for renewing and maintaining vitality and youthfulness.

DALMATIAN JASPER
Helps in removing barriers that prevent you from moving forward in life, and to discover your true purpose of being in the world. Brings joy and playfulness into one's life. The black spots in this stone are Black Tourmaline, which adds to this stone's protective qualities.

MARCASITE
Resonates with the Soul Star chakra, even if being strongly grounding at the same time. Offers strong psychic protection and aligns all the chakras. Brings clarity of thinking and an increase in will-power. Said to promote creativity, spirit awareness and clairvoyance.

PYRITE
Taps into one's innate abilities, bringing confidence and perseverance to aim for one's goals. A shielding stone and protective amulet. Increases vitality and enhances one's assertive qualities. Helpful in turning melancholy into feeling empowered. Excellent stone for manifesting abundance.

SNOWFLAKE OBSIDIAN
Promotes a sense of calm and inner equilibrium, bringing balance to body, mind and spirit. A grounding, protective stone. Eases worries and when carried/worn helps one to stay balanced and centred throughout the day. Native American shamans often carried Snowflake Obsidian as a powerful talisman to avert evil and bring good fortune, also considering it to be the guardian of the Great Spirit.
