Red Agate, Jade & Garnet Mala for Grounding & Root Chakra Activation (Limited Handmade Collection)

Our first mantra process of the year begins in January, and we are connecting with the Gayatri Mantra. Many of you have seen my own mala beads over the years and have asked about them — where they come from, how to use them, and what they represent.

Across cultures, this practice is universal. In Persian tradition, we call prayer beads tasbee. In India, they are known as mala beads. In Christianity, the rosary. Wherever we look, beads have served as companions for prayer, meditation, devotion, and contemplation since well before the 10th century. Different names, same intention: connection.

We are honored to carry a very limited collection of handmade malas crafted by a female maker. Each mala is traditionally hand-knotted with 108 beads and finished with a single guru bead.

About This Mala

This mala is crafted with a radiant blend of Red-Banded Agate, Wine-Red Faceted Jade, and Dark Red Garnet — a trio that together supports grounding, stability, resilience, and the steady inner fire of Root Chakra activation.

It is finished with a crimson tassel, symbolizing rooted presence, strength, and the grounding energy needed to move forward with confidence.

The number 108 is considered sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism. A full rotation of 108 repetitions is traditionally used to meditate with a mantra. This rhythm is said to activate the seven chakras through 108 energy lines that converge at the heart center — a path toward clarity, awakening, and self-realization.

Many people choose to wear their mala throughout the day as a reminder of their intention. This mala is made with a strong, long-lasting cord and is designed to withstand years of devotional practice.
