DESCRIPTION

Mala double wrap bracelet with 27 Bodhi seed counter beads with two dividers at nine bead intervals, crystals include: Shaman Dream Stone Quartz, Sapphire, Bronzite and Tourmaline. The toggle closure has three strands - you can slip one or all toggle stones through the knotted loop to fasten the bracelet. Bodhi seeds are traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhist malas. These counter beads are spaced with matt brown glass seed beads, knotted and strung with dark brown micro-macrame cord.

This is a handy meditation / mantra aid for times when you'd like something smaller and more light weight than a full mala. You can still count up to 108 with these bracelet beads - in multiples of 27 if you prefer. Simply count back and forth over the dividers as many rounds as needed. Use the toggle crystals as the guru bead.

Whilst the total length of this bracelet, including the toggle loop, is 39 cm (15.3") it would make a good fit for up to a 6.5" wrist circumference, although if you prefer a more loose fit, this is fine for a smaller wrist too (loose fit but won't slip over your hand even if your wrist is 6"). Being natural, dried seeds, the Bodhi seed beads are not uniformly round. Their diameter is approx. 0.8 cm (0.3").

This mala bracelet comes in one of my handmade drawstring fabric pouches for safe-keeping.

Gift-wrapped at no extra charge.
