Just in from Kathmandu, our new wrist mala includes matte Onyx beads with water buffalo horn disk spacers and an Endless Knot resin pendant.  Wear it alone or pair it with a stack of your favorite DharmaShop bracelets and malas.  

The Endless Knot represents the connection between one’s spiritual path, the movement of time, and the omnipresent Buddha self. 

Onyx is worn to defend negative energy that is directed at you; it fortifies self confidence and responsibility.  It stabilizes, heals, and strengthens your root chakra so you may become more grounded and productive in the physical world.

A note about bone/horn beads:  Tibetan nomadic life is hard, and in the cold there is little to eat.  Water buffalo is a main staple in Nepal and Tibet and when an animal is used for food nothing is wasted.  These amazing horn beads are handmade by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.

Adjustable bracelet can open up to about 8 1/2 inches around and tightens to about 6 inches around.  Matte onyx beads are 8mm, horn disk spacers are 7mm.  Endless Knot pendant measures approximately 1 1/8 inch wide and 1 inch tall.  Handmade in Nepal.
