Matte Black Sardonyx Wrist Mala – NEW!

Description

We love the look of this matte black sardonyx wrist mala – delicate blue stripes and patterns on deep matte black. Sardonyx stone is associated with strength, stabilization, and general good fortune and makes for an elegant set of black prayer beads.

Known as japamala, prayer beads, or Buddhist beads, mala beads originated in ancient India, where practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism have used them for centuries. The term “Mala” translates to “garland” in Sanskrit, signifying a string of beads used for prayer and meditation. A larger bead, known as the Guru bead, marks the beginning and end of the Mala.

Mala beads can be made from various materials such as wood, seeds, or gemstones, each carrying its own symbolic significance.

These black prayer beads are minimalist and refined.
