Empath Protection Prayer Mala
Product Details
Empath Protection Prayer Mala: choose this crystal mala for a grounded, protective-feeling piece around your neck or in your hands, with nothing loud or showy about it.
This mala is made with crystal beads. The listing title does not name the stones. The earlier description mentions Black Tourmaline and Howlite, so check the product photos for the actual bead mix. A gift-box option is available.
About the stones mentioned
Black tourmaline, also called schorl, is a striated, glossy black crystal. Howlite is a white stone with grey web-like veining. In crystal tradition, black tourmaline, obsidian and labradorite are the stones most often chosen for a sense of protection and grounding. Protective symbols and stones appear in many cultures, from the evil-eye charm in India to amulets around the Mediterranean.

- Style: mala
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
Gift a mala with its intention in mind: the material and the tradition attached to it make the choice personal. 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.
Because every stone is different, tone and markings vary a little from the photos. Questions about a specific piece? Ask us before ordering and we will help.
