TIGER’S EYE 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 Tiger’s Eye Mala is hand-strung with durable knotting cord in our Boulder studio. Each 8mm bead is inspected for structural integrity to ensure it holds up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a traditional three-holed Tiger’s Eye guru bead, an adjustable snakeknot, and turquoise magnesite adornments.Why Tiger’s Eye?
Revered throughout history as a stone of courage and insight, Tiger’s Eye has long been worn by ancient Roman soldiers to signify inner strength and protection during battle. In Eastern traditions, its shifting bands of light drew comparisons to the noble tiger, symbolizing focused vision, patience, and unwavering determination. Notably, it is celebrated as the gemstone chosen for His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s personal mala prayer beads.Tiger’s Eye is a unique variety of quartz that exhibits chatoyancy—a striking optical shimmer that shifts across the surface as it catches the light. This phenomenon occurs through a fascinating geological process where parallel, fibrous mineral layers are replaced over time by silica quartz, preserving a rich, golden-brown luster reminiscent of an eye.Gemstone Properties
