LAPIS LAZULI WITH TURQUOISE 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 Lapis Lazuli 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 an adjustable snakeknot and beaded end adornments.Why Lapis Lazuli?
Treasured for more than 6,000 years, Lapis Lazuli has been valued across ancient Egyptian, Persian, and Mesopotamian cultures for jewelry, sacred ornamental objects, and royal breastplates. Historically revered as a stone of universal truth, inner vision, and intellectual integrity, it was frequently used by ancient scribes and spiritual practitioners to deepen wisdom and mental focus. In meditative traditions, its deep celestial color provides a grounding yet expansive focal point, assisting the practitioner in cultivating mindful awareness and honest self-reflection.Geologically, Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of 25 to 40 percent lazurite, along with varying amounts of sodalite, hauyne, calcite, and sparkling pyrite. These fine AB-quality 8mm beads showcase a rich, radiant dark blue color base punctuated by the stone’s signature golden metallic flecks and natural mineral variations, primarily sourced from the rugged mountains of northeast Afghanistan.Gemstone Properties

My new lapis mala is a deep blue string of beads with gold guru bead and turquoise on string with snake knot. It’s beautiful, weighty and grounding. I doubt I’ll ever put it in the satin bag that came with it! Keeps me calm at work, which is what I need: enhanced calm. I have yet to be disappointed with any purchase from Sakura. Thank you and blessings🙏🏽.

This is the most beautiful, well crafted mala I’ve ever had! Love the color, the gold beads with turquoise accent markers and the 6 mm beads make it easier to use. Also love the slipknot which makes this mala fully adjustable.

Lapis is a powerful stone, good for doing mantras on, it keeps me coming back to it. The combination of colors gold and turquoise is beautiful.

My first mala so it is special. For use to get me through two very major surgeries over the coming months. Their heavy, cool feel is reassuring and comforting. They are beautiful to look at. The turquoise is a wonderful counterpoint (but I would have put turquoise on the tassels too.) very happy with my purchase.
