This one-of-a-kind mala is carefully hand-knotted using natural Indian bloodstone — a striking gemstone known for its grounding energy and its rich blend of deep greens and rusty reds. Each of the 108 6mm beads is selected for harmony and balance, arranged symmetrically by tone to mirror the subtle dance of earth and blood within the stone. Flat separator beads are placed after every 27 beads to help with breath or mantra count, and within each group of 9, matte and polished finishes alternate like rhythm and pause — adding a tactile and meditative layer to your practice. The guru bead is a beautifully marbled 12x16 mm stone, anchoring the strand with presence. This mala was not mass-produced, but knotted mindfully with an eye for detail and a heart for tradition. Associated with the Root and Heart chakras, bloodstone is believed to enhance vitality, courage, and emotional strength. It’s especially aligned with Aries, Libra, and Pisces energies — but welcomes any seeker drawn to its complex, grounding presence. Use it for meditation, wear it as a necklace, or simply keep it close as a talisman. l***Natural — a stone that has had no treatment other than cutting, drilling and polishing*** 27 ~marker~27~marker~27~marker~27 Bead, Indian bloodstone (natural), 6mm round length ~ 30" (77 cm) tassel ~ 3” (8 cm), natural silk and synthetic mix vegan friendly boho handmade in USA NO drop shipping NO thrift store flipping
