Om Mani Naga Shell Wrist Mala

• This wrist mala made with amazing and bright naga shell beads with a hand carved Om Mani mantra centerpiece.
• Handmade of water buffalo bone, the center bead is naturally stained and carved to feature the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra of compassion.
• Due to the handcrafted nature of the bone Om Mani bead, the mantra will begin to fade over time and with use.  We consider this special process to be a visual representation of the growth in your practice and a further reminder of impermanence.

This amazing bone Om Mani bead is handcrafted by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.  Bone beads often recognized as a symbol of impermanence.  They are a powerful reminder to be here now and to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.  

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.

Adjustable wrist mala measures approximately 6.75 inches around when fully tightened and opens to about 9 inches around.  Beads are 8-9mm, Om Mani bead is 10mm.  Made in Nepal.
