Traditional Tibetan Buddhist rosary, 108 pure cinnabar beads has 95% obsidian eye celeste silver 925 and copper. Buddha.

Preparation time after order, three weeks.

The mala, trengwa, in Tibetan is the buddhist's rosary, the object from which the monk (or even the lay practitioner) almost never separates, holding it in his hand or wrapped around the wrist.
The mala is first of all a utilitarian onjet: 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 set to repeat a defined number.
The mala is composed of 108 strung pearls, which justifies its name, since it simply means "garland" (of pearls). The different components each contain a symbolic meaning specify: The large pearl (or Buddha's head) that closes the loop represents the knowledge of emptiness. The small cone that surmounts it is the mark of emptiness itself.

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

As Malakara, we make all our malas ourselves with scrupulous respect for tradition.

CINNABAR (HGS (mercury sulfide))
From the ancient Greek Kinnaburi. Cinnabar was already known since Neolithic times for its use as a pigment in murals and religious ceremonies.
The Chinese used cinnabar 3500 years ago as a pigment for pottery or as an ink. They would have been the first to have made vermilion, at the beginning of our era. Used in Chinese medicine either orally to clarify the heart and calm the mind, or locally to eliminate toxicity.
Its ancient use has also been attested in China, the Shang dynasty (-1570 to -1045) used it during divinations (scapulomancy) to make appear and interpret the cracks on turtle shells.

Chinese Taoists used it as a drug of immortality, hence mercurial poisonings. The most famous is that of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 210 BCE.

Renowned in China also as a ghost hunt, a tradition that continues to this day, as well as in the Tibetan tradition.
