Origins
 
Evidence of rose quartz use dates to ancient Mesopotamia around 7000 BCE.
Carved into facial masks found in Egyptian tombs.
The Romans used rose quartz seals to signify ownership.
Moss agate takes its name from its moss-like inclusions of iron or manganese oxide within chalcedony.
Carried by farmers across the ancient Middle East during planting seasons.

Product Description
 
This Mala pairs rose quartz and moss agate across 108 beads, two stones with separate ancient histories meeting in a single measured sequence. The six millimetre beads are strung on olive green silk, a natural ground that sits closer to the moss agate in tone while allowing the pale rose of the quartz to remain distinct.
 
The piece includes sterling silver Chinese Fu marker beads in eight millimetre sizing and is completed with a nine point five millimetre Fu Guru bead.
