HOWLITE, SNOWFLAKE OBSIDIAN & SANDALWOOD MALA PRAYER BEADS – MADE TO ORDER IN BOULDER, COLORADO

A meditation tool built to last as long as your practice.Most malas fall apart after a few weeks of daily use. This one won’t. Every Howlite, Snowflake Obsidian & Sandalwood Mala is hand-strung with durable tan knotting cord in our Boulder studio. Each 6mm bead is inspected for structural integrity to ensure it holds up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a light tan natural cotton tassel.

Why Howlite?

Discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia, in 1868 by Canadian chemist Henry How, Howlite has long been valued by lapidaries for its porcelain-like appearance. Mined primarily in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, its striking, dark veined matrix makes every individual bead unique.Howlite is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide mineral that forms in white or light gray masses with distinctive dark gray, black, or brown web-like inclusions.

Gemstone Properties

Howlite has been traditionally associated with:

• Patience and mindfulness
• Stillness and observation
