Protective Obsidian and Tibetan Pendant Mala

• Our limited edition mala is hand strung right here at the DharmaShop!  It features a bold combination of Obsidian and Pyrite beads with stainless steel spacers.
• Obsidian is not only stunning but also very unique, as each stone reveals its own translucent banding.  It contrasts nicely with the Pyrite beads that are cool to the touch.
• The main focal point of the mala is the handmade Tibetan pendant from Nepal.  It features the mantra of compassion, "Om Mani Padme Hum" written in Tibetan script.  Made of brass and sterling silver.
