The serene turquoise-green of amazonite and the small metal om medallion together make a calm yet meaningful bracelet. The 21-bead mala slips easily onto the wrist on an elastic cord.
About the om symbol
Om is one of the best-known sacred syllables of Hindu and Buddhist tradition, often regarded as the primordial sound of creation and a symbol of unity. Many attune themselves with this sound during mantra practice and meditation. On the bracelet it appears as a small metal medallion, a quiet, respectful reference.
What is a mala?
A mala is originally the prayer string of Hindu and Buddhist tradition, a tool for counting mantras. A mantra is a repeated sequence of words – by tradition recited 108 times – and while repeating, attention rests on the meaning and vibration of the words. Through such a practice, as tradition holds, thoughts grow quiet and the body relaxes. The 21-bead wrist mala is a comfortable, wearable version of this.
About amazonite
Amazonite is a greenish-blue variety of feldspar, with a fine, veiled pattern. In tradition it is known as a stone of calm and balanced thinking. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect. The bracelet is made of 21 amazonite beads with a metal om medallion on an elastic cord, with an inner diameter of about 7.5 cm.
