Sodalite Buddhist Mala Bracelet

Description

A sodalite buddhist mala bracelet brings the depth of blue stone into daily wear. Each bead is hand-strung and cool to the touch, the weight balanced evenly across the wrist, a quiet anchor for counted attention and unhurried return.

Sodalite is a sodium aluminum silicate mineral prized for its deep indigo ground and white calcite veining, found primarily in Brazil, Canada, and East Africa. In the Buddhist mala tradition, sodalite entered use as artisans in Nepal and Tibet began incorporating non-classical stones alongside rudraksha seed and bodhi bead sets. A mala comprises 108 beads, a count held significant across Buddhist, Hindu, and Vedic practice. These bracelets are hand-strung by artisans in Nepal, the bead size and cord material selected for wear comfort and longevity.

Available in bead sizes of 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm, each bracelet is hand-strung on elastic cord sized to a standard adult wrist. The sodalite beads are round-cut and polished to a smooth finish that reveals the characteristic deep blue and white patterning: no two beads are identical. A single guru bead marks the counting position. Total bead count is 108. The bracelet weighs approximately 18 g at 6 mm and 35 g at 10 mm.
