UNAKITE & RED TIGER’S EYE 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 Unakite 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 knot closure and beaded adornments.Why Unakite?
First discovered in the Unaka mountain range of the United States, Unakite has a rich history as a stone of grounding integration and quiet perseverance. Combining distinct minerals into a single cohesive matrix, it has traditionally symbolized the harmonious blending of different aspects of life, making it a favored stone for those seeking stable focus. In meditative traditions, its unique, mottled appearance acts as a comforting, nature-centered focal point that supports patience and a steady breath during long mantra repetitions.Geologically, Unakite is an altered granitic rock composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz. Often grouped with jaspers due to its dense, finely grained presentation, its striking green and salmon-pink patterns display a beautifully varied texture that ensures no two beads are ever completely identical.Gemstone Properties

There is no question that these prayer beads are of the highest quality and very sturdy. I would say to expect them to appear a little more toward the green color when worn, unless against a white shirt.
But they are beautiful, and I’ve loved that they remind me to be grateful and take more time to focus my energy toward gratitude, releasing toxic thoughts, and being at cause for my purpose.
I def will be ordering additional items from this co for gifts!
