108 Rudraksha Mala Chain – Dark
The Rudraksha Mala Chain is one of the most iconic Eastern meditation tools: a chain strung with 108 rudraksha berries, made from the seeds of the fruit of an evergreen tree native to Indonesia, Nepal and parts of East Asia. The dark variant contains more vigorous, naturally brown-black shaded berries. In Eastern cultures these malas have been used since time immemorial; it is traditionally believed they bring balance, equilibrium and a happy life to their wearer. The electromagnetic properties of rudraksha berries are a natural consequence of their unique mineral composition.

Tips
- Rudraksha berries can be regularly treated with a little natural oil (e.g. sesame oil) — this preserves the natural shine and flexibility of the berries.

- If the chain comes into direct contact with skin, allow it to dry completely after washing before putting it back on.
