IMPERIAL GLASS & LAPIS LAZULI 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 Imperial Glass & Lapis Lazuli Mala is hand-strung with durable blue nylon cord and finished with traditional macrame knots in our Boulder studio. Each 8x5mm bead is individually inspected for structural integrity to ensure it holds up to thousands of repetitions of practice. The professional-grade threading features an adjustable knot, perfectly tensioned for the unique drape of these sleek rondelle beads.Why Imperial Glass & Lapis Lazuli?
This design is a modern hybrid inspired by traditional Tibetan Buddhist Malas and Imperial court prayer beads, known as Chaozhu during the Qing Dynasty. Originally adapted from Buddhist rosaries, these formal 108-bead necklaces were worn by emperors, royal family members, and high-ranking officials as powerful symbols of rank, spiritual focus, and religious devotion. Traditionally crafted from the finest materials, they served to help practitioners focus on overcoming spiritual obstacles and maintaining mental clarity during practice.The main body features luminous high-clarity glass rondelles with a sophisticated satin finish that reflects light with a soft, ethereal glow. This brilliant aesthetic is beautifully anchored by a massive 15mm genuine rock quartz crystal focal bead, deep celestial blue natural Lapis Lazuli markers, and 14k gold-plated accents—including traditional decorative bell and dorje counters alongside a gold vermeil Om bum counter mala clip.Gemstone Properties
