Jade is a gemstone known for its soothing qualities and comes in two varieties: Jadeite and Nephrite. While green is the most common color, Jade can also be found in a range of colors, including red, orange, yellow, blue, and even black. Jade has been treasured for centuries, particularly in ancient Egypt and Japan, for its ability to promote clarity, wisdom, and tranquility. It is found in locations such as Myanmar, Japan, Guatemala, and even California and Alaska in the United States. We offer green Malaysian Jade.
About Labradorite:
Labradorite first appeared in 2003, which makes it a relatively new gemstone. What makes it different than most other gemstones is its faint metallic luster known as labradorescence. Iridescence allows Labradorite to exhibit various ranges of color depending on the viewed angle. Labradorite belongs to the feldspar group of minerals, which is Earth’s most abundant mineral group. Feldspars make up nearly 60% of the Earth’s crust. Labradorite is found near Labrador, Canada, and is also found in Norway and various other locations worldwide.Healing Properties:
Labradorite: Stone of adventure. It activates psychic abilities and connections to other worlds. It also protects from the desire to control others, allowing focus instead on self-empowerment.What Makes This Mala Different

Excellent customer service! I received a poorly strung mala (missing three beads)—mistakes happen. Rather than return the mala, I decided to keep the attractive beads for a future mala of my own design. I did however write a critical rating to point out the oversight. Much to my surprise, I received a call from Sakura (Dawn I believe) inquiring about my review. She offered to replace the mala which I had already disassembled. When I explained that the mala was now a bag of beads, she offered to send to me (free of any charge) a fresh strand of quality beads to compensate for the missing three. Very pleased!
