Mala made of landscape jasper with a handcrafted silver bead

This mala, made of landscape jasper beads, has a striking, earthy appearance in warm shades of brown, gray, and nearly black; its cloud-like patterns evoke vast, banded landscapes—hardly any two beads are alike. A finely crafted silver bead with raised vine or cloud motifs serves as the guru bead; below it, small counting strands with silver-colored fittings hang from brown cords.

A mala traditionally consists of 108 beads and is used in the Buddhist tradition as a prayer beads for recitation.

We deliver the mala in an elegant silk brocade pouch, which we select individually to match the color.
