Description

The mala is made of 108 Black Obsidian gemstone beads + 1 guru bead. It is very carefully knotted by hand with a colour matching thread. Malas are also said to be Prayer beads and are used for counting the recited mantras. Many temples have 108 steps, and it is said that each person has 108 lives. And a mantra works after 108 repetitions.

Black obsidian is often regarded as a protective stone. It is believed to create a shield against negativity, absorbing and dispelling negative energy, and emotional stress. Black obsidian is considered to be a stone of truth and self-reflection. It encourages deep introspection and helps bring unresolved issues, emotions, and traumas to the surface. The stone is associated with the root chakra, which governs our sense of stability, security, and connection to the Earth. Wearing a black obsidian Mala can help you feel more grounded and protected in challenging situations.
