Hand-knotted Rudraksha, African Turquoise Jasper & Pyrite Gemstone 108 Bead Mala | spiritual meditation selling yoga | natural earthy bohemian

This natural rudraksha and gemstone mala is comprised of 108 (6mm) beads – primarily rudraksha with accent beads of African turquoise and brecciated jasper. The meru setting is two 4mm pyrite beads surrounding a 10mm carved dark wood bead. The mala is hand-knotted between each bead for longevity and ease of use on double-strung deep red-colored 100% cotton cord. The handcrafted tassel is created of the same cord the beads are strung with. This delicate mala has a rich, earthy feel. If you are looking for a more traditional rudraksha mala with a hint of contrast and color, this is the one for you. Since it is mainly rudraksha, it is lighter in weight than the predominantly gemstone malas.

The length is approximately 17.5 inches (45 cm) from center to tip of tassel and the meru bead rests at or near the solar plexus when worn.

All Devi Malas are handcrafted by myself, Milwaukee designer Jackie Ratcliffe. Gemstone and rudraksha combinations are selected based on the design of the piece more than for the particular healing properties they hold. All Devi Malas are "Gayatri-infused" as I recite this Sanskrit mantra of purification during the mala's creation.

This mala is **made to order** and ships in an organza antique gold-colored bag, tucked in a hinged rectangular tin.

GEMSTONE & RUDRAKSHA PROPERTIES*:

Rudraksha seed, known as “tears of Lord Shiva”, is a symbol of spirituality and has traditionally been used by meditators and sages of India for thousands of years. The five-faced rudraksha is said to promote health, specifically regulating blood pressure, reduce heart disease, and improve mental clarity. Rudraksha are known to promote inner peace, knowledge, and enlightenment. This powerful seed is said to represent the meditative ability of Shiva to focus the mind and remove obstacles on one's path.

African Turquoise (a jasper, not true turquoise) is believed to offer protection during travel and may attract money for the wearer. It is said to reduce headaches and help with clearer expression. It cultivates calming and soothing energies, and creates tranquility, comfort, and a sense of wholeness and healing.

Brecciated Jasper (Jasper veined with Hematite) is said to be an excellent grounding stone and assistant to attaining emotional stability. It promotes mental clarity.

Pyrite is a stone of powerful protection which shields against all forms of negativity. It is believed to enhance logic, analysis, creativity, and psychic development. It can help tap latent mental talents and abilities. Commonly called “fool's gold,” this prosperity stone allows one to see behind false facades and enhances intellect and memory. It is said to bring energies of good luck or good fortune.
