An arc of seven gemstone colours on a single strand – from red to violet, following the traditional colour scale of the chakra system.
The seven-chakra stones
This mala brings together beads of seven gemstones, following the traditional colours of the chakra system: red garnet (1st), orange carnelian (2nd), yellow citrine (3rd), green aventurine (4th), light-blue aqua aura (5th), deep-blue lapis lazuli (6th) and violet amethyst (7th). The chakras are the subtle energy centres of Eastern tradition; this strand presents that classic arc of colour. These are traditional and cultural 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 in meditation. A larger guru bead closes the 108 beads, standing for wisdom, while the small cylinder above it represents emptiness. The beads pass one by one between the fingers while attention rests on the meaning and vibration of the words.
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.
Material and craft
Made of seven natural gemstone types (garnet, carnelian, citrine, green aventurine, aqua aura, lapis lazuli, amethyst). A 108-bead strand, about 44 cm long. Being a natural material, each piece is unique: shade and pattern may vary slightly. It comes with a decorative pouch that protects it and frames it nicely as a gift.
Good to know
Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals. The meaning attached to it comes from tradition and is not a medical effect.
