Tibetan Buddhist Mala beads with black tassel - handmade in Asia What are mala beads? Mala beads are a tool for those around the world who practice meditation, follow religion, or seek inner calm. They are used by monks in various parts of Asia to enable focus on the sound and meaning of a mantra without the distraction of counting the number of repetitions. One hundred and eight natural Black Lava beads were hand knotted together on a silken cord along with Tibetan plated silver accents to make the Mala. Knotting ensures this quality mala is extra strong and durable for many years of use. In Tibetan Buddhism 108 beads are used- symbolizing Mankind’s Mortal Desires. Natural volcanic lava rock is a stone known for its qualities of strength, courage and clarity. Lava is also believed to provide physical and mental power when facing difficult situations, hardships or discomfort. It can be used as a rosary, Tibetan / Buddhist prayer beads, meditation necklace, be worn by girls, women, boys, or men. It is great for mantra chanting, yoga and zen meditation practices. Start at the tassel to use this helpful meditation accessory. Hold a bead between your middle finger and thumb. Recite, chant, or mentally repeat a mantra, moving to the next bead after each repetition. After 108 repetitions you will reach the tassel from the other side. The Natural air pockets in lava rock make this mala a wearable aromatherapy diffuser. Rub a small drop of your favorite essential oil into the air pockets of the lava beads, and they will release scent over time as you use your mala. The Mala looks great as a necklace. It also has a nice real weighted feel to it when wrapped loosely around your wrist . We hope that these beads bring you as much fulfilment as they do for us. Get a set now and begin your journey to a tranquil and more serene you.

Durable and good looking
I wear mine several times a week as a bracelet and it's holding up really well.I have a small wrist so I can wrap it 5 times and wear it comfortably. The lava stone holds a scent for only a short time, not as porous and absorbent as some lava stone, but that's fine by me. The string is holding strong and beads aren't slipping. I get lots of compliments on it.

Gorgeous Mala! High Quality & Unique! Namaste🙏🏼
What a GORGEOUS mala, it exceeded my expectations. And the price is incredible for a hand-knotted mala!! A little water helped calm the tassle from shipping. Thank you for such a beautiful piece...I will be purchasing from you again very soon!

So good I bought another!
This mala is definitely the best one I have ever purchased. I liked it so much I bought another one. The construction is solid, looks like the photo and has a really nice heavy feel to it.

Tassel falls apart
I have worn this item for just a week and the tassel has completely fallen apart. A little sad but the beads are still nice.

surprisingly great quality
Very nice size, and quality of lava stones. Keep in mind that this is not stretchable so it is difficult to use as a bracelet, but looks great as a necklace and for meditation!

Very cheap looking. Not at all what it looked like in the pictures.
If I hadn't waited to open the package until it was too late to return it would be shipped back tomorrow. Very disappointed.

Very nice piece and good length
Very nice piece and good length. Each bead has a knot between it and the next bead so it's good quality. Beads are legit with a nice weight to them. Overall 5 stars.

Fell apart on day one
This was a Christmas gift for my nephew. He wanted the Black Stone beans. I picked this due to good reviews, howeverhe opened box and started to hold them and the beans started coming off. Whatever flimsy string is used to string itwas just that flimsy. Disappointing to say the least.
