21-Bead Amazonite Mala Bracelet

Mala bracelet with 21 Amazonite beads and an elastic cord.

Amazonite protects against negative energies and electromagnetic radiation.

It helps to have a more stable mind and greater intuitive wisdom.

The mala is primarily used to count repeated mantras, for the same purpose as a rosary.

Beads made from semi-precious stones, pearls, plant seeds, or Bodhi wood can serve various purposes, such as counting any type of mantra or other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations, and so on. The cord is the same for every mala, and it should be made of nine strands, symbolizing Vajradhara Buddha and the eight Bodhisattvas.

The largest bead at the end signifies wisdom, realizing absolute emptiness, and the cylindrical pearl above the largest bead symbolizes emptiness itself. Together they symbolize triumph over all adversaries.

It is important that our thoughts are pure while we recite or chant the mantra. The mantra is the practical use of secret forces that can help us progress. A mantra is understood as a predetermined sequence of syllables. The effect is achieved by repeating the mantra over and over again; this becomes deeper as one continues to recite it. Essential is the sound that is produced while reciting.

This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person who is reciting. It is said that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before reaching the final effect, which is the "Purification of mental impressions". There are various mantras with an intrinsic potential; this can only be personally transferred from the Master to the initiate. These are the so-called "Siddha Mantras". Some malas have two clips with images of the Vajra and Bell to keep count of the rosaries of mantras recited.

In Buddhism, the symbolic meaning of these images is "method and wisdom, the male and female principle". The animal bone represents the transitional state of all beings.

Material: Amazonite

Amazonite is a microcline, that is, an alkaline feldspar, recognizable by its perfect cleavage. It can be of magmatic origin (hydrothermal formation process or in pegmatites), secondary (sedimentary), or metamorphic (crystalline schists).

The blue-green color, which takes on a pearlescent luster under magnification, is due to the presence of lead and resembles the water of a river.

Therefore, it owes its name to the Amazon River, from which it was presumed to originate: in reality, no deposits are known in the Amazon area, while it is certainly extracted in some areas of the Ural Mountains in Russia, and in Colorado, in the United States. It often shows reddish-brown iron inclusions.
