About Black Tourmaline and Labradorite
Black tourmaline, also called schorl, is a striated, glossy black crystal. It is probably the most popular protective stone in modern crystal tradition, and is often carried or kept near doorways. The flash colours shift with the angle of the light, so turn the piece slowly to see them. Read these as tradition and symbolism rather than any promise of outcomes.

Using your mala
For japa, count each repetition of a mantra on one bead, turning the beads with the thumb and middle finger and stopping at the larger guru (meru) bead rather than crossing it. It can also be worn as a necklace or wrapped around the wrist.
Gifting and care
For a family member or friend with a daily prayer routine, a japa mala is a respectful, practical gift. A soft dry cloth is all it needs for cleaning. It is a fairly durable stone, but still keep it away from perfume, hairspray and hard knocks. Keep it dry, handle it gently and store it in a cloth pouch between uses.
Expect small differences in shade, pattern and finish between pieces; that is the character of stone. If you need specific details about a piece, message us before you order.
A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.
