Small Lava Stone Turquoise Wrist Mala Bracelet

These lava beads were formed by molten lava from the volcanic island of Bali. Lava is known for its grounding and calming properties as well as its ability to aid in enhancing one's connection to the earth and promoting courage and strength. Lava beads are popularly used as essential oil diffusers because of the stone's porous nature. Lava resonates with the base/root chakra. This lava mala is beautifully strung with turquoise beads for added benefits. Turquoise is known for its ability to protect from outside influences and its ability to dissipate negative energy. Turquoise resonates with the throat chakra. These lava and turquoise beads measure approximately 6mm, but may vary slightly in size due to their handmade nature.

Prayer mala or beads are often used in Tibet, Nepal, and India by Buddhists for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration. Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use. Please email me for more detail and I will be more than happy to assist you.

How to adjust this wrist mala (you can also reference our instructional video %%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%/how-to-adjust-our-wrist-mala-bracelet/):

1. Hold the mala with the long knot at the top. Use thumb and forefinger from each hand to hold beads on either side of the knot (left hand holds the bead on the eft, right hand holds the bead on the right).

2. Pull hands apart and away from the long knot. Our malas are usually knotted a little tight so you can pull pretty hard!

3. To tighten, pull small beads at the end of the strings.
