Hand-knotted Bronzite, Labradorite & Rudraksha 108 Bead Mala | natural gemstone lotus hotsell seed | spiritual earthy bohemian meditation
This natural gemstone and rudraksha mala is comprised of 108 (6mm) beads – primarily bronzite with accent beads of rudraksha and labradorite. The meru setting is a single 6mm pyrite bead followed by a dark brown lotus seed. It is hand-knotted between each bead for longevity and ease of use on double-strung muted gold-colored 100% cotton cord. The handcrafted tassel is created of the same cord the beads are strung with. This mala has a sophisticated but bohemian feel due to the rich, earthy and slightly iridescent brown tones of the bronzite beads. The labradorite beads show flashes of blue the stone is so known for depending on how light strikes it.
The length is approximately 18.5 inches (47 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.

GEMSTONE & RUDRAKSHA PROPERTIES*:
Bronzite can help one to think ahead, enhancing the ability to take control of one's life. It is said this grounding stone dispels uncertainty and doubt, therefore is helpful in planning for the future. It is believed to help soothe the mind and protect it against negative energies, especially those resulting from pain and depression. It is referred to as the “stone of courtesy” as it promotes the courage to act without willfulness.
Labradorite is said to promote wisdom, understanding and patience and to help banish fears and insecurities. Detoxifies the body and is believed to elevate consciousness and promote meditation, as well as protect and cushion the aura by helping to deflect unwanted energies. Referred to as the ‘Stone of Destiny', it is believed to help discover one's true path in life.
Rudraksha seed, known as “tears hotsell of Lord Shiva”, is a symbol of spirituality and has traditionally been used by meditators and sages of India for thousands of years. The five-faced rudraksha is said to promote health, specifically regulating blood pressure, reduce heart disease, and improve mental clarity. Rudraksha are known to promote inner peace, knowledge, and enlightenment. This powerful seed is said to represent the meditative ability of Shiva to focus the mind and remove obstacles on one's path.
Pyrite is a stone of powerful protection which shields against all forms of negativity. It is believed to enhance logic, analysis, creativity, and psychic development. It can help tap latent mental talents and abilities. Commonly called “fool's gold,” this prosperity stone allows one to see behind false facades and enhances intellect and memory. It is said to bring energies of good luck or good fortune.
Lotus seed symbolizes spiritual knowledge and power. The lotus grows through muddy waters, flowering above the surface into its beautiful form. As rain falls from above, the drops don't stick to the petals but fall back into the water. This conveys the idea that a spiritual aspirant, while living in the world, should remain unaffected by worldly attractions and work towards spiritual unfoldment.
