A versatile 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.

Each 6mm bead is inspected for structural integrity to ensure it holds up to thousands of repetitions, finished with traditional decorative beaded adornments.Why Onyx & Lapis?
Onyx has been revered since antiquity, heavily utilized by ancient Roman soldiers who carved the stone with images of Mars for courage in battle, and highly prized in ancient Egyptian lapidary arts. Lapis Lazuli boasts an equally rich legacy, famously mined in the ancient Badakhshan province for over 6,000 years, where its brilliant blue flecked with golden pyrite adorned the funeral masks of pharaohs and symbolized the starry heavens.Onyx is a sleek, cryptocrystalline form of quartz known as chalcedony, characterized by its deep, uniform parallel layers of rich black mineral composition. In contrast, Lapis Lazuli is a complex metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, calcite, and shimmering specks of golden pyrite, creating a striking cosmic appearance.Gemstone Properties

Beautiful, exactly as shown in photo. I thought is was a bracelet when I purchased it as that’s how it was shown in photos and the review comments, unfortunately my hand is too big to wear as bracelet. I’ll wear it as a necklace. I’ll consider Sakura for gifts.
