Sam- custom men's mala necklace, black gemstones for stress relief & grounding

A handcrafted mala necklace made especially for you, combining powerful black and earth-toned gemstones chosen for their grounding, protective, and calming energies, made to be worn always, wherever you are.
This custom 22-inch mala is crafted from a selected "blend" of Obsidian, Black Agate, Turquoise, Serpentine, Silver Sheen Obsidian, Lava Stone, Larvikite, and Labradorite, knotted by hand, with mixed bead sizes for a natural, masculine feel, for a quiet anchor of strength and calm, always be with you.

* Silver Sheen Obsidian- deep grounding, clarity, protection from negative energy
* Black Agate - calm strength, stress relief, emotional stability
* Lava Stone - raw earth energy, courage, diffuses anxiety, transformation,
* Larvikite and Labradorite -   inner wisdom, transformation, shielding the aura
*Turquoise- communication, healing, protection on journeys,
*Serpentine - gentle energy flow, wisdom, conscious perspective on the world around you

There's also a quiet rhythm built into the mala: every 5 beads are joined by a delicate knot: five, like the "hamsa", for luck and protection , and this pattern repeats 8 times around the necklace, 8 for the symbol of infinity, the number of abundance in every area of your life, in total, 40 beads= number 4- represent the "base" (like "hupa"), the safe place, the ground under your feet.

The necklace is strung on a durable cord and hand-knotted between stones, so the necklace settles naturally and comfortably on the body. The clasp is stainless steel and water-resistant, so you can shower with it on without worry.

*My personal recommendation is to take it off when you can, to keeps the beads and cord free of soap and chlorine over time, and keeps the stones natural shine exactly as it is now.

And every so often, whenever it feels right to you, rest the mala on a windowsill morning sunlight, or moonlight at night. The stones love these little "energetic baths" :).Trust your own feeling on the timing, there's no fixed rule, just what feels right for you.
