BLACK ONYX & WHITE JADE 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 Black Onyx & White Jade Mala is hand-strung with durable nylon 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 an adjustable macrame slide knot.WHY BLACK ONYX & WHITE JADE?
Natural Black Onyx has a rich history across global lapidary traditions, prized for centuries as an enduring canvas for intricate carvings and sacred objects. Sourced from historic deposits in the United States, Italy, and Mexico, this dark stone has long been integrated into traditional practice gear. Paired with the luminous contrast of pristine White Jade, this limited-edition blend offers a visually striking and balanced palette deeply rooted in ancient design lineages.Geologically, natural Black Onyx is a form of fine-grained cryptocrystalline quartz. This structural makeup makes it exceptionally hard, durable, and resistant to wear—far surpassing softer minerals like calcite that are sometimes substituted in the market. The high-density composition ensures a smooth finish, while the silver accents and White Jade provide a crisp, enduring tactile rhythm.GEMSTONE PROPERTIES
