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 Ebony Wood 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 Snakeknot and beaded adornments.Why Ebony Wood?
The legacy of Ebony wood stretches back to antiquity, with its name deriving from the Ancient Egyptian word “hbny,” where it was highly prized for royal furnishings and sacred objects. Historically sourced across tropical regions, this dark timber has long held an esteemed place in spiritual traditions for its grounding presence. Its use in Tibetan Buddhist style mala beads serves as a durable vehicle for deep, focused mantra prayer over a lifetime of devotion.Belonging to the genus Diospyros, Ebony is a remarkably dense black wood that is uniquely heavy enough to sink in water. It features a finely-textured grain that yields an incredibly smooth, tactile finish when polished, making it exceptionally comfortable to count with during extended meditation.Gemstone & Material Properties
