We are so excited to share this limited edition 108 bead DharmaShop mala with you. Only 4 available, so grab one while you can! A truly beautiful design with neutral tones and unique components, this mala is made with matte picture jasper beads, naga shell spacers and brass accents. Handmade by an artisan in the Kathmandu Valley, the mala features a special conch shell pendant. The conch shell is a popular symbol in Tibetan Buddhism that represents music. Picture Jasper is a grounding and harmonizing stone with a strong connection to the Earth. It is said to promote feelings of responsibility towards the planet, encouraging a need to care for and protect it. It is also known to help create harmony, creativity, and positive thoughts. The naga/conch shell is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols and represents the fame of the Buddha's teaching which spreads in all directions like the sound of the conch trumpet. It is a symbol which fearlessly proclaims the truth of the dharma. Mala measures approximately 36 inches around. Picture jasper beads are 8mm, naga shell spacers are about 12mm. Conch pendant measures just under 3 inches. *As each pendant is handmade, size or style may vary slightly.*
