We just introduced our newest Mala Beads to our online store. The Moss Agate Mala Necklace is now available for immediate shipping. This beautiful necklace is hand strung with smooth, polished 8mm natural beads. The necklace measures 36″ in circumference and holds 108 mala beads, a 10mm guru bead and is tied with an Endless Knot. The Endless Knot is symbolic of wisdom and the ultimate unity of everything. Two complimenting danglers each strung with three beads complete the necklace.
A mala bead necklace can be used in a variety of ways. Some use them for meditation practice, holding the necklace over your palm with the beads between your thumb and forefinger. As you pass each bead through the fingers, you recite a mantra. By using this meditation technique, you avoid having to count the beads and this helps keep the mind clear and focused on reciting the mantra.
Others wear the beads around their wrists as a bracelet. Since they are strung on a nylon stretchable cord, it can be wrapped around your wrist several times producing a stylish and eye-catching piece of jewelry. Of course, since it is a necklace you can adorn yourself with a gorgeous necklace on your neck, which goes well with most everything.
Moss Agate is not truly from the agate family, but rather chalcedony. It contains a dendritic or branch-like structure inside the stone of chrome, manganese and sometimes iron. This structure produces an alluring combination of light and dark shades of green with delicate hints of blues, blacks, grays and whites. Moss agate is mined mostly in India, and is commonly used in decorative arts and jewelry.
This stone is highly regarded among health and wellness practitioners as a healing tool. This gorgeous stone is believed to bring harmony and clarity to your world, producing confidence and protecting against stress. It encourages grounding and reminds us to let go of the small stuff and focus on all that is good around us. This allows the energy of love to flow freely and to attract the love that you need.
Chopa offers fast shipping and includes a free mala bag to store and protect your beads. As a reminder it is never to early to shop for Christmas. Many insiders and retail experts predict possible shortages this year. We have been working hard to obtain adequate supplies of mala beads and our specialty, Japanese Kimono and Yukata robes. We receive many notes throughout the year from customers that discovered kimonos make wonderful meditation robes. The warmth of the cotton robe helps maintain heat, keeping the body at a steady temperature and providing clarity and focus on the meditation session.
This Moss Agate Mala Necklace is ready to ship. Whether you purchase one for yourself or a gift recipient, everyone will be pleased. Mala beads are what we call “meaningful jewelry” and “gifts with a purpose.” It is something that can be used on a regular basis if meditating and will remind the recipient of you every time it is worn. This is the last and only shipment of these beads we will receive this year.
