Because each of the pieces is natural, each piece will be as unique as the person who owns it. Small variations in size/color/shape from the one visible in the photograph are bound to exist – after all every authentic and natural stone/crystal will have its own novel physical appearance.
Exclusively packed, each Japamala rests in a handmade eco-friendly Jute bag.
A thoughtful gift for the discerning few whose minds think alike.

What is a Japamala?
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. True bliss inevitably follows. Used by the sages for centuries, Japamala provide focus and steady the mind during meditation. An intimately personal and sacred possession, constant use of a Japamala helps to build its own unique energy, and over time the power of the gemstones becomes apparent to the wearer.
A Japamala or mala is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers, usually divisible by 9, are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity.
Mantras are typically repeated hundreds or even thousands of times. The mala is used so that one can focus on the meaning or sound of the mantra rather than counting its repetitions. One repetition is usually said for each bead while turning the thumb clockwise around each bead, though some traditions or practices may call for counterclockwise motion or specific finger usage. When arriving at the head bead, one turns the mala around and then goes back in the opposing direction. This makes using the mala easier as the beads will not be so tight on the string when you use them.
