LAPIS & CITRINE 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 & Citrine 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 snake knot and custom gemstone adornments.Why Lapis Lazuli & Citrine?
Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue gemstone uniquely cherished for over 6,000 years across ancient civilizations, with the finest historical deposits sourced from the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Often associated with royalty, honor, and inner vision, it has long served as a prominent stone in sacred ornamentation and ancient ceremonial objects. Paired with Citrine—a vibrant variety of quartz celebrated historically for its warm, sun-like energy—this combination has traditionally been revered by practitioners seeking a clear mind and purpose.Geologically, Lapis Lazuli is a complex metamorphic rock primarily composed of rich blue lazurite, alongside sodalite, hauyne, white calcite, and shimmering specks of golden pyrite. Citrine gets its beautiful golden clarity from trace amounts of iron within its crystalline structure, creating a stunning visual and structural contrast when paired together.Gemstone Properties

I do love this new mala I’ve received from Sakura, just would feel better if I knew the lapis beads were of the same quality, or even a close quality, or natural…..
In the description for the Lapis Mala with Gold and Turqoise: “108 8mm excellent, dark radiant blue AB quality Lapis Lazuli beads”.
In this mala’s description: 8mm Lapis & Citrine Mala beads.
My tigers eye and citirine mala from Sakura was the best mala of my life; nothing has compared until I finally ordwered from sakura again. It’s beautiful and good quality and would recommend for anyone who practucices mantra, or for crystal healing, or for aesthetes alike.

Hi Matthew, thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation and yes you are correct that’s our standard genuine lapis, and then we do have one higher grade that is undyed, but that one has a lot more calcium and pyrite inclusions and imperfections. We really appreciate you taking the time to write a review and please remember us whenever you need your mala (typo) :) repaired or for gifts for friends and family.
