21-Bead Amazonite Mala Bracelet with Buddha

Mala bracelet with 21 Amazonite beads featuring a Buddha and an elastic cord.

Amazonite protects against negative energies and electromagnetic radiation.

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

The mala is primarily used to count repeated mantras, serving 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 should be made of nine strands, symbolizing Vajradhara Buddha and the eight Bodhisattvas.

The largest bead at the end signifies wisdom and the realization of absolute emptiness, while 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 a predetermined sequence of syllables. The effect is achieved by repeating the mantra over and over again; this becomes more profound as the recitation continues. The sound produced while reciting is essential.

This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person reciting it. It is said that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before achieving the final effect, which is the "Purification of mental impressions." There are various mantras with an intrinsic potential; this can only be personally transmitted 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 mantra rosaries recited.

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

Material: Amazonite

Amazonite is a microcline, or alkaline feldspar, recognizable by its distinct 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 believed to originate: in reality, no deposits are known in the Amazon region, while it is certainly extracted in some areas of the Ural Mountains in Russia and in Colorado in the United States. It often features reddish-brown iron inclusions.
