Mala Buddhist rosary Prayer and meditation 108 beads of exceptional Nephrite jade all natural without any expert treatment

The mala, trengwa, in Tibetan is the Buddhist rosary, the object whose
monk (or even the lay practitioner) almost never separates, holding him to the
hand or wrapped around the wrist. The mala is first of all a utilitarian object:
it serves as a tactile support for the recitation of mantras, at the same time as it is
used to count them if one has decided to repeat a defined number. THE
mala is composed of 108 strung beads, which justifies its name, since it
simply means "garland" (of beads). The different components contain
each a symbolic meaning specify: The big pearl (or head of
buddha) which closes the loop represents the knowledge of emptiness. The little
cone which surmounts it is the mark of emptiness itself.

As a gemologist graduated from the National Institute of Gemmology in Paris,
all our stones are appraised and certified.

As Malakara, we make all of our malas ourselves
scrupulously respecting tradition.

Mala Buddhist rosary Prayer and meditation 108 beads of exceptional Nephrite jade entirely natural without any treatment, appraised.

Dimensions of each pearl 8.3/7.3mm Total weight of 105.3 grams.

Finishing beads in agate called "nan hong" (southern red). This exceptional agate gets its red color from its natural cinnabar content.

The colors of jade:

The primary colors, such as white, black, purple and green, are due to partial substitution of aluminum ions in the structure of jadeite. Pure jadeite, NaAlSi2O6, is colorless or white, but if chromium or iron replaces aluminum, then the color resulting from this substitution may be green. This first group of colors is directly related to the structure, and therefore is called the primary group. Secondary colors such as red and yellow, appear when jadeite has been exposed to the earth's surface. Oxidation and hydrolysis lead to the decomposition of the surface and solutions containing ferric oxide infiltrate the jadeite to form limonite and hematite in the intergranular spaces, hence the yellow or red color. As the color group arises after the crystallization of jadeite, it is called secondary group. It is also called the "skin color" of raw jadeite. White Jadeite: The composition of white jadeite has a pure chemical composition with no ions such as chromium or iron causing color. Under the microscope, the crystals appear clean, without chemical alteration. This result is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Violet jadeite: violet-colored jadeite exists in several different tones: pinkish violet, bluish violet and red violet. In general, jadeite of this color is rather pale. It has long been thought that purple jadeite is colored by manganese ions, but no convincing analytical data has confirmed this view. In 1974, GR Rossman suggested that the purple color was due to ferrous and ferric transition elements. This was confirmed by performing measurements of the visible light spectrum.
