DESCRIPTION

Contemporary meditation mala with traditional Tibetan Buddhist bead count of 108 with Sodalite, Moonstone, Black Tourmaline, clear Quartz and Iolite.

The main counter beads are Sodalite. The three dividers in the mala consist of rough cut Moonstone and clear Quartz crystals. The guru bead is a combination of Black Tourmaline, Iolite and Moonstone.

The counter beads are individually knotted by hand for ease of handling, with light blue micro-macrame cord. This mala comes in one of my handmade soft brown 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 0.8 cm (0.3")

All around length of mala: 113 cm (44.5")
Length of the guru bead combination: 4.5 cm (1.8")

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.
