This splendid mala bead necklace is carefully handmade with 108 natural Black Labradorite gemstone beads as well as a beautiful tibetan mantra wheel pendant and tassel. Beads are 8 mm in size. Length of the mala is about 40 inches (100 cm). This mala is beautifully hand-knotted.

Labradorite is the most powerful protector of the mineral kingdom, creating a shielding force throughout the aura and strengthening natural energies from within. It protects against the negativity and misfortunes of this world, and provides safe exploration into alternate levels of consciousness and in facilitating visionary experiences from the past or the future.

Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This sādhanā (practice) is known in Sanskrit as japa. Malas are typically made with 18, 27, 54 or 108 beads.
