Unlike its more common golden cousin, rare blue amber is a true gem of the fossilized resin world. Formed millions of years ago, this stunning stone boasts a greenish-blue hue that only reveals its brilliance under ultraviolet light. Found primarily in the Dominican Republic and Indonesia, blue amber's rarity and captivating color make it a prized possession for collectors.
Anhui green Turquoise, a captivating gemstone hailing from China's Anhui province, is prized for its vibrant colour and unique character. Unlike the classic blue-hued Turquoise, Anhui Turquoise boasts a spectrum of verdant greens, ranging from soft apple green to a more intense forest green. This beautiful stone is known for its rich colour. The vibrant green hue is attributed to the presence of iron within the stone. Some Anhui Turquoise features a contrasting brown or red matrix, adding a touch of rustic charm and visual interest.
While not technically turquoise, African turquoise (also known as Jasper) is a captivating gemstone gaining popularity. Its vibrant colors range from deep blue to light green, often with a beautiful webbed matrix pattern. Believed to promote structure and balance, African turquoise is said to awaken your inner purpose and ease emotional fluctuations. It embodies the energy of encouragement and acceptance, making it a wonderful stone for personal growth and positive transformation.
Black onyx, a striking gemstone with a deep, jet-black color, is a symbol of strength and resilience. Believed to promote grounding and self-control, it's thought to be a powerful shield against negativity. Many wear black onyx for its calming properties, finding it helps them feel centered and focused.
Each Mālā is handmade by myself and will come in its own hand stamped Cotton Bag and an info card.
Mālā is usually made of 108 beads and a guru bead. This enhances the practice of japa meditation (also called mantra meditation) by keeping count of the number of times a mantra is chanted. Mālā can be made with fewer beads, such as 18, 27 and 54.
The number of beads in a Mālā is associated with the aim of japa. A Mālā with 27 beads is used for attaining spiritual progress, while a Mālā with 108 beads is used to achieve fulfillment. The number, 108, has spiritual significance as it is believed that 108 energy lines converge to form anahata, the heart chakra.
One way to Meditate with your Mālā is to Sit straight, keeping the spine erect. Keep the eyes closed. Hold the Mālā in the right hand. Let it rest on the second and third fingers. Use the thumb to bring down each bead starting with the Guru bead while chanting your chosen mantra.
Ultimately, the Mālā becomes what the wearer wants it to be. You fill the energy of the beads and gemstones, with your thoughts, your hopes, and dreams.
