This Amethyst Mala is made with smooth, polished round amethyst beads in rich shades of violet and deep purple, finished with a matching purple tassel and a guru bead. It follows the traditional 108-bead design for mantra and japa practice, and it can also be worn as a necklace or wrapped around the wrist. Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm, spiritual awareness, protection and focus, and is linked to the third eye and crown chakras.
