SERPENTINE 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
Serpentine Jade 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 natural cotton tassel.
Why Serpentine Jade?
The name Serpentine is derived from the Latin “serpentinus,” meaning resembling a serpent, historically referencing the stone’s mottled green patterns that emulate the texture of a snake’s skin. Revered for centuries across ancient civilizations from Central America to East Asia, it holds a prominent place in traditional lapidary arts, architectural ornaments, and sacred talismans, with notable deposits in regions including Burma, Peru, New Zealand, and the United States.A complex silicate mineral group, Serpentine Jade is distinguished by its translucent to opaque quality and smooth, slightly waxy luster. Its distinctive multi-toned green coloration is formed through hydrothermal alteration of ultramafic rocks, giving each bead a rich variation of deep forest tones and lighter inclusions that catch the light beautifully during practice.
Gemstone Properties
Serpentine Jade has been traditionally associated with:
- Peace and Wisdom (Revered in historical spiritual practices as a stone of purity and gentle internal strength)
- Fostering emotional balance, inner serenity, and a deep sense of internal harmony
- Connection to the Heart Chakra in traditional yogic philosophy
- The element of Earth, representing grounding intentions, renewal, and a connection to nature
Rose Quartz marker beads have been traditionally associated with:
- Unconditional Love and Compassion (Revered across ancient civilizations as a sacred stone of the heart)
- Cultivating gentle, soothing energies and a peaceful state of mind during meditation
- Deepening empathy, self-acceptance, and harmony within relationships
Each 8mm bead displays the natural multi-toned green coloration and smooth finish of Serpentine Jade. The soft pink Rose Quartz markers provide visual rhythm for mantra counting, while hand-knotted design spacers add contrast.
