108 Bead Mala – Carnelian

About this piece

Carnelian beads in glowing orange-red, 108 of them, warm as embers and catching the light in shades from apricot to brick. Against bare skin or a cream knit, the colour brings a sunset warmth to the neckline.

Carnelian is traditionally associated with courage, motivation and creative drive, an old favourite of people who make things. This mala suits a writer, artist or entrepreneur, and it is a cheerful gift for a friend setting a new intention at the turn of the year.

Rest it in your right hand, draped over the middle finger, and move one bead at a time with your thumb as you breathe or repeat a word that matters to you. Tradition keeps the index finger out of it, as it stands for the ego.
