Product Description
 
This Mala is formed from 108 garnet stones, one of the most continuously traded gemstones in recorded history now shaped into one of the oldest contemplative forms in the world. The six millimetre stones are strung on olive green woven silk, its earthed tone settling the deep red of the garnet into something quieter than it would be against a cooler ground.
 
The piece includes eight millimetre sterling silver Chinese Fu marker beads framed within signature bead squares and is completed with a ten millimetre Fu Guru bead.
