women's citrine and smoky quartz buddha mala necklace, made with fair trade grade AA+ citrine, Australian bloodstone, smoky quartz, Czech crystal for just a touch of sparkle, and brass distressed buddha pendant made in Thailand with a beaded tassel. our knotted and braided Malas™ are a new and completely original design that uses 6mm and 8mm beads with comfortable spacing between each bead for easy meditation. please bear in mind that it's very difficult to capture the unique and antique look of each one of these pieces through photographs. they are absolutely stunning in person. each piece is made with fair trade gemstones and pendants from all over the world, and Czech crystal which is also fair trade. this piece comes with a gemstone card or mantra card (as long as I have it in stock) and a beautiful tibetan brocade mala bag.

the word buddha is a sanskrit word which means "the awakened one", one who is awakened to reality, who understands the true nature of the mind, the world, and all sentient beings. the buddha embarked on an endless, compassionate journey to teach living beings how to see reality, how to gain true wisdom, how to free themselves, and how to achieve true peace and joy. his teaching is known as the dharma.

in vedic astrology, citrine is associated with the planet jupiter, which is the planet of good luck and good fortune. it is a stone of success and manifestation, generosity, and personal empowerment. it is also known as a protection stone and is said to dispel negativity, alleviate stress and self-doubt, diminish irrational mood swings, and increase mental clarity. it is beneficial for spiritual growth, meditation, and never needs energetic cleansing. 

Australian bloodstone is a green stone with mossy tones and occasional small red, orange, and brown flecks and swirls. it is an excellent stone for centering, grounding, and calming. it has been used to increase adaptability and ease stress and grief. it is a stone of balance, and is said to release mental and emotional blockages. it attracts abundance, prosperity, success, and enhances the intellect.

smoky quartz is a grounding stone that is associated with the root chakra and is believed to be powerfully opening to the crown chakra. it is said to induce alpha/deep meditation and stimulate the natural crystals in body tissues to resonate at the highest frequency. it has been used most often to overcome nightmares, stress, and other negative emotions, while transforming them into positive ones. it supports deep relaxation and unconditional love, and is especially helpful for those dealing with body image issues such as feeling too fat, too skinny, too short or tall, etc. it is a stone of protection, prosperity, and good luck, and establishes the most gentle and loving connection with the body.
