TIBETAN TURQUOISE MAGNESITE MALA 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: threads fray, knots loosen, beads crack and tassels unravel. This one won’t. Every Tibetan Turquoise Magnesite Mala is hand-strung with stainless steel bead cable or strong knotting cord in our Boulder studio, with each 8mm bead inspected for structural integrity before it’s ever used. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just a mala designed to hold up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a natural cotton tassel.Why Turquoise Magnesite?
First identified by geologists in the late 19th century, magnesite derives its name from its magnesium-rich composition. While historically utilized in industrial and decorative arts across Europe and the Americas, its striking resemblance to traditional turquoise has made it a beloved and accessible choice for prayer beads and sacred jewelry across various spiritual traditions. It has long served as a meaningful canvas for artisans honoring classic southwestern and Tibetan aesthetic styles.Formed primarily through the alteration of magnesium-rich rocks or sedimentary carbonate deposits, magnesite naturally occurs in beautiful white and porcelain-like states. When expertly dyed, it highlights a stunning, intricate matrix of veining, creating a rich visual depth that mirrors the classic look of ancient mined turquoise.Gemstone Properties
