DESCRIPTION

One of a kind, contemporary 108 bead meditation mala with Lepidolite counter beads. The Lepidolite beads are lightly waxed for durability, to protect this otherwise quite delicate stone. The three dividers are a combination of rough cut Chrysocolla and natural Turquoise. The guru bead consists of Chrysocolla, natural Turquoise and two Larimar crystals.

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

All around length of mala: 109 cm (43")
Counter bead diameter: 0.8 cm (0.3")
The width of the divider combination: 2.5 cm (1")
Length of guru bead crystal combination: 5 cm (2")

Please note that Spirit Carrier malas come usually in three sizes, determined by the diameter of the main counter beads - either 0.8 cm, 1 cm or 1.2 cm. This mala is the smallest size with 0.8 cm 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.
