BLACK ONYX ZEN MEDITATION 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: threads fray, knots loosen, beads crack and tassels unravel. This one won’t.

No mass production. No shortcuts. Just a mala designed to hold up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a natural cotton tassel.

Why Black Onyx?

Black onyx has been used in jewelry, carving, and symbolic adornment for centuries, especially in signet rings, amulets, and decorative objects. In Feng Shui tradition, black stones are often connected with Yin symbolism, depth, stillness, and grounding visual presence. Onyx is also associated with the root chakra in yogic philosophy and has long been valued for its bold, polished appearance.Gemologically, onyx is a form of cryptocrystalline quartz, often appearing as a layered stone with bands of black, white, or other tones. Natural onyx is harder than some softer materials that are sometimes sold under the same name, and deposits can be found in regions including the United States, Italy, and Mexico.
