Amethysts have the reputation for being one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world, and you can see why when you behold this exquisite Amethyst and Rose Quartz mala. Amethyst lends the mala strength and clarity, while the soft pink of the rose quartz provides a gentle balance. In this mala we use the traditional count of 108 beads separated into groups of twelve by contrasting, faceted rose quartz gemstones, chosen for their beauty and specific vibratory qualities (see below). All our malas are designed to look good and to make counting mantras or Kriyas easy. You will never go back to counting on your fingers! You will notice that we don't use a silk tassel at the end, which tends to get worn and raggedy, but prefer to use a "Guru" gemstone bead as is the custom in India. These not only look better, but will last forever. In this mala the "Guru" stone is a stunning 8 mil, faceted, Rose Quartz gemstone. Beneficial Qualities of Amethyst: Amethyst is a powerful and protective stone with a high spiritual vibration. When used in meditation it will turn the thoughts away from the mundane towards tranquility and deeper understanding. It will help you feel less scattered and more focused and in control of your faculties. Amethyst facilitates visualization, and will help you should you be experiencing sadness or grief at a time of loss. Beneficial Qualities of Rose Quartz: Quartz is the stone of unconditional love and infinite peace. It aids concentration, purifies and opens the heart at all levels, brings deep inner healing and self love, and clears blocked memories. It is a calming and reassuring stone and is excellent for use in times of trauma or crisis. Rose quartz helps release unexpressed emotions, soothe internalized pain and heal deprivation, encouraging self-forgiveness and acceptance.
