The skull in Buddhism is often recognized as a symbol of impermanence. This bracelet is an amazing way to reflect on impermanence in your daily practice. It is a powerful reminder to be here now and to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.
Wrist mala features larger-sized, hand carved magnesite skull beads. Magnesite is a wonderful relaxing and calming stone to use in meditation, and it has the potential to aid you to create amazing changes in your life. Often called white turquoise, it is a natural stone with brown or black veining giving it a crackle look. It is a strong stone for creative visualization and imagination.
Adjustable mala opens to about 9 inches around and tightens to 6 inches. Beads measure approximately 12-13mm. Handmade in Nepal.
I just received my wrist mala, and love it. It is very comfortable and I love the symbolism of making the most of the day because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. I have matching skull earrings, and also have skull tattoos. A lot of rich symbolism.
I love this mala. I have worn it every day and everywhere. I have always had difficulty with impermanence. When impermanence is approaching I run my fingers over the beads and remind myself of the natural cycle of birth,death and the bardos. I know everything will be fine. It's well made and beautifully crafted. I just need to find another mala that will have as much meaning. I am curious why the jade in the same style is no longer on your site.

Recently I purchased several wrist Malas including the Impermanence Reminder mala that has the larger magnesite skulls, the Tiger Eye Mala and the Knotted Lapis Mala both with Turquoise spacer. The smoothness of the stones and the sturdy knots, make me feel that I wear a fine piece of Buddhist artwork. They are my neverending reminder of the short time we have to do good works to support our fellow Human and nonHuman beings.
Byron, your review is amazing! Thank you for sharing these kind words and for your help in supporting Himalayan artisans! We're so glad to hear that you're happy with your items and that they've become special reminders for you. Thanks, again!
I saw this item was immediately attracted to it. However I do not like the adjustable malas because they tend to become loose. The awesome folks at Dharmashop changed this mala to be on stretchy cord. Also the skulls look like bone but are made of magnesite, which is a really cool mineral.
Hi Andrew, super cool picture and we love your tattoos! Happy to hear that the stretchy cord worked out better. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Thank you for supporting The DharmaShop!
I bought this for my niece after she broke her foot falling off a chair. It reminds her to take care with her body and it has a nice weight and smooth feel to the stones.
