DESCRIPTION

One of a kind, contemporary 108 bead meditation mala with Lava stone, Fire Agate and Carnelian.

The main 108 beads are Lava Stone with its distinctive rugged, naturally textured surface. Lava stone is considered a grounding stone, like all black stones, and to provide a sense of stability amidst tumultuous situations. Lava stone exudes a certain inner fire, having been through such an incredible transformation. Holding Lava stones also instills one with a deep sense of peace and contentment, it's difficult to put them down!

The counter beads are individually knotted by hand for ease of handling, with orange micro-macrame cord. The three dividers as well as the guru cairn are a combination of Fire Agate and Carnelian. 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.

Spirit Carrier malas come in three sizes according to the counter bead diameter. The counter bead diameter of this mala is 1 cm (0.4")
All around length of mala: 135 cm (53") 
Length of the guru bead combination: 7 cm (2.8")

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.
