Meditation Necklace

📿 A superb and rare Tibetan Coral prayer 108 beads necklace This is a striking example of a mala that beautifully captures the aesthetic of high-end Himalayan prayer beads while remaining accessible. The high quality "enhanced coral" and resin components are very common in traditional Tibetan craftsmanship, where the spiritual intent and visual symbolism of the color is valued along the stone. Key Features & Symbolism * Aka Coral Aesthetic: The "Aka" (Deep Red) coral is the most prized variety in Asian markets. By using enhanced coral, you achieve that deep, meditative red—symbolizing compassion and life force—without the high cost of natural deep-sea coral * The 108 Count: This is a sacred number in Buddhism, representing the elimination of 108 types of desire/afflictions. * Guru Bead (The Yellow Resin): The larger yellow bead is the "Guru Bead" or "Mother Bead." It signifies the teacher and the end of a chanting cycle. In Tibetan tradition, you never cross over the Guru bead; you turn the mala around and go back the other way. * Turquoise/Green Accent: The green bead serves as a "spacer" or marker. In Tibetan culture, red coral and turquoise are the most auspicious pairing, representing the balance of sky (turquoise) and earth (coral).
