A row of clear, glass-bright rock crystal beads finished with a white tassel – a quiet, luminous companion for meditation and everyday stillness.
The stone of rock crystal
Rock crystal is colourless, transparent quartz (SiO₂) with a Mohs hardness of about 7, found across the world; its clear, well-formed crystals have long been prized. In the crystal-healing tradition it is known as the “master crystal”, said to strengthen intention and clear a space, and it is often described as an amplifier of other stones.
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
Hold the mala in your hand during meditation or mantra recitation and move from bead to bead. Through the day it can be worn wrapped around the wrist or given a fixed place in a meditation corner.
Material and craft
A 108-bead strand of natural gemstone beads, roughly 41 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.
