Unakite mala with a silver guru bead and a green tassel

A powerful mala made of large unakite beads, whose pattern alternates between moss-green and salmon-pink areas—the distribution varies with each bead, sometimes appearing almost solid dark green, other times heavily mottled. The mala is finished with a hand-chased, hand-forged Tibetan guru bead made of silver with a three-dimensional vine design, featuring a light green tassel below; two smaller silver beads with a granulation design divide the strand. 

Unakite is a rock composed of green epidote and pink feldspar; it gets its name from the Unaka Mountains in the Appalachian Mountains, where it was first described. The mala is designed without a clasp.
