The stone of moonstone
Moonstone is a feldspar mineral marked by a distinctive pearly glow (adularescence); its colour can range from bluish through reddish beige to yellow-green. Tradition calls it the “moon stone” and “dream stone” and regards it as a companion of renewal and natural cycles. These are traditional ideas, not medical claims.
The 108-bead mala
A mala is the prayer strand of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, originally used to count mantras during meditation. Beyond the 108 beads, a larger guru bead closes the loop; it stands for wisdom, while the small cylinder above it represents emptiness. The beads pass one by one between the fingers as attention rests on the meaning and vibration of the words. Today many also wear a mala as a wrapped wrist accessory.
How to use it
The soft glow of moonstone lends a quiet, inward mood to practice. Hold the strand during meditation or wear it on the wrist through the day.
Material and craft
A 108-bead strand of natural gemstone beads, roughly 33.5 cm long. Because it is made of natural stone, every piece is unique: shade and veining may vary slightly. The mala comes with a decorative brocade pouch that protects it and makes a fitting gift presentation.
Good to know
Wipe the stone with a soft cloth and lukewarm water; avoid prolonged direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. The meaning attached to it comes from tradition and makes no medical claim.
