Traditional Turquoise Mala

Beautiful pressed turquoise-powder beads are strung with red stone spacers.  Great size for any wrist or hand.

Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors.  It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, healing to the eye, as if carved from an azure heaven and slipped to earth.  Its unique shade of blue, often blue-green, lends it name, Turquoise, to all things of this tranquil hue.  The delicate veining or mottled webbing in cream or brown is inherent to the stone and serves to enhance its character.

Measures approximately 33 inches in circumference.  Contains 108 8-9mm beads.  Hand strung in Nepal.
