I use malas during the recitation of mantras and I find it just as meditative and relaxing to make them. Each mala I make is thoughtfully designed and constructed from semi-precious stones, metals, wood, and bone. My philosophy is to create something beautiful as well as functional. Never mass produced, rarely the same combination of stones and metal are the same. Often, the natural stones have lovely patterns that add to the pleasure of recitation. Whether you are a practicing Buddist or collector of fine malas, my malas are a joy to behold and use.
This mala is available for sale on ecrater for $18.00 US, free shipping anywhere in the world.
This mala is American made. It is constructed in a mindful, meditative manner with the traditional 27 beads, guru bead, and 2 marker beads. The beads are 10 mm peach marble. To my knowledge, this is a natural stone, not dyed. Some people prefer larger beads because they are easier to handle when one has arthritis. The marker beads and the focal bead are 12mm fossil. They are accented by base metal spacer beads. The beads are strung on hand knotted cotton and should resist breakage. If it should break within 6 months of purchase, the mala may be returned to me for re-stringing at no charge, buyer pays shipping. This particular mala has a tassel made from imitation silk.
