Lovingly handmade in small batches by our talented in-house jewellery makers, this 108 Mala bead necklace is made using high-quality polished Black Obsidian crystals which are hand-knotted with 3 Rudraksha seeds at the base and a tassel to finish. HOW TO USE DURING MEDITATION Start by holding one of the Guru beads and set your intention for the meditation, then slowly, move along the Mala breathing or counting (as you prefer) each stone. Continue your practice until you reach the opposite Guru bead from where you started. Give thanks and close your practice. There is no time limit for how long you should take. Go at your own pace, always bringing your focus into the present. Black Obsidian is a truth-enhancing stone, it is also a protective stone, and it can be used to block negative energy in the environment around you. Made from: Black Obsidian, Rudraksha seeds and cotton Measures approx.: 110cm not including the tassel
