I love this mala!! I use it many times a day, and I wear it everyday on my wrist. I get many compliments on it. It is a great avenue to raise awareness of the situation in Tibet. The unique thing that I have noticed about this mala is that when i got it the bone was all uniform in white color, as I've been wearing it and using it some of the bone has changed various shades of white, transforming it into a one of a kind mala, with a very personl feel and connection. I highly recomend this mala, and I highly recomend the Dharma shop as I've ordered more items from them and they always deliver in a speedy fashion...
