Chakra Assorted Bead Mala 30"

These Chakra gemstone accent mala are a statement piece handmade with a cord and tassel. It comes in three different stones: Amethyst, Labradorite, and Lapis. 

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities, and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of amethyst is the same as quartz, 7. The ancient Greeks wore Amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. What does Amethyst do metaphysically? Amethyst is the power stone of the Crown Chakra and is thought metaphysically to transform negative energy into positive energy along with helping overcome grief and sadness to bring inner peace.

The geological type area for labradorite is Paul's Island near the town of Nain in Labrador, Canada and is rated between 6 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It has also been reported in Norway, Finland. Labradorite occurs in mafic igneous rocks and is the feldspar variety most common in basalt and gabbro. Labradorite can display an iridescent optical effect known as labradorescence. In the metaphysical world, Labradorite is considered one of the most powerful protectors creating a shield for auras and helps an individual regain energy.

Lapis lazuli, or lapis for short, is a deep blue metamorphic rock utilized as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. At the end of the Middle Ages, lapis lazuli began to be exported to Europe, where it was ground into powder and made into ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments. Lapis Lazuli is rated between 5 and 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Lapis Lazuli metaphysically is thought to promote friendship, socialization, and dignity.
