I have hand-knotted this mala with faceted Moss Agate, Smoky Quartz, Pyrite, and Lapis beads. The “guru” pendant is a breathtaking Gold Sheen Obsidian cabochon, set in sterling silver, by me. There is a message stamping on the back of the pendant reminding you of your power to create. To BE THE CHANGE. To embody and create your message, your offering, your gifts. You are strong, wise and capable. Not only does the message let you know, but you are now supported by the powerful energies of the stones. Read below for more on each…

Traditionally malas are made with 108 beads as well as a center guru, which is represented here. The beads are all 6mm (aside from the larger Lapis), so this mala can be worn long, or depending on its fit, doubled up around the neck. Here is a little bit about each stone:

• Gold Sheen Obsidian - Deflects negativity. Enhances manifestation. Helps us clear and work through negative emotions related to abuse of power, and heals imbalance. Supports the Root and Solar Plexus Chakra.

• Moss Agate - Growth. Stability, Strongly connected with nature. Develops strength and ability to get along with others. Resonates with and balances the Heart Chakra.

• Lapis - Supports clear, truthful communication. Opens and balances the Throat Chakra.

• Pyrite - Vitality, growth and confidence. Stone of optimism, manifestation, and zest for life, as well as good luck. Supports the Solar Plexus Chakra.

This mala is 40” and has a 1 3/4” pendant drop. Each bead is hand-knotted onto cord, for added strength and longevity. As with all malas, they are meant to be practiced with, worn and enjoyed. The cord can eventually wear out, and the gemstones can be re-strung, or re-purposed. The pendant can then be worn on cord or chain. Enjoy! I loved creating this piece, as it was a meditation and connection to earth.
