Hand-knotted Fancy Jasper & Rudraksha 108 Bead Mala | smoky quartz natural gemstone | nuture protect clarity | bohemian yoga sold meditation

This natural gemstone and rudraksha mala is comprised of 108 (6mm) beads – primarily fancy jasper with accent beads of rudraksha and smokey quartz. The meru setting is a single brecciated jasper bead followed by a 16mm rudraksha seed. It is hand-knotted between each bead for longevity and ease of use on double-strung muted red/lavender-colored 100% cotton cord. The handcrafted tassel is created of the same cord the beads are strung with. The color range of fancy jasper is light to dark green, purple, and dark reddish brown. While it is a colorful stone, the color is better described as subdued rather than bright. This mala will draw you in admiring the different tones in each bead.

The length is approximately 18 inches (46 cm) from center to tip of tassel and the meru bead rests at or near the solar plexus when worn.

All Devi Malas are handcrafted by myself, Milwaukee designer Jackie Ratcliffe. Gemstone and rudraksha combinations are selected based on the design of the piece more than for the particular healing properties they hold. All Devi Malas are "Gayatri-infused" as I recite this Sanskrit mantra of purification during the mala's creation.

This mala is **made to order** and ships in an organza antique gold-colored bag, tucked in a hinged rectangular tin.
