Amethyst & Hematite Mala Bracelet – Clarity & Protection

Description

The purple and iron-grey beads alternate in a bracelet that sits quietly on the wrist, each stone slightly cool to the touch.

Mala beads have been used in Buddhist and Hindu practice for over a thousand years as a counting tool for mantra recitation and meditation. The word mala comes from Sanskrit and means ‘garland’ or ‘wreath.’ Traditional malas contain 108 beads, a number considered auspicious across several South Asian traditions; bracelets typically use a fraction of that count, often 27 or 21 beads, worn on the wrist for everyday use. Amethyst, a variety of quartz ranging from pale lavender to deep violet, and hematite, an iron oxide mineral with a distinctive metallic surface, have both been used in jewelry and protective amulets across many cultures for centuries.

This bracelet is handcrafted from natural amethyst and hematite beads, strung on an elastic cord for a secure, flexible fit. Amethyst ranges in color from pale lavender to deep violet depending on trace iron content and heat exposure. Hematite is recognized by its metallic, mirror-like surface and its considerable weight relative to its size. Both stones are polished to a smooth, rounded finish that preserves the natural color variation inherent in genuine stone. Construction is durable and suited to daily wear.

Specific bead diameter and bracelet circumference are not listed. Materials: natural amethyst, natural hematite, elastic cord. Country of origin is not specified.

Natural stones vary in shade and surface pattern, so each bracelet differs slightly. Hematite is brittle under sharp impact and should be treated accordingly.
