I got this mala (necklace/garland) for my wife in Brown Tiger Eye pattern because she started exploring spirituality. The colors look different from the pictures on the product page.This is a perfect gift for anyone who is into meditation, yoga, or spirituality. The mala has good weight to it and you'd feel its presence on your neck.Technically it has 110 Tiger Eye beads. It is arranged in twelve groups of nine beads separated by the metal beads. There are two beads, one on either side of the pendant. The beads are made of stone, are earthy looking, and are cool to the touch.The beads are held together with an elastic clear manmade string (see photo). The only con I see with this string is that over time it could lose its physical integrity and just snap when stretched (after many years perhaps, speaking from experience here on a different product though). HOWEVER, the big pro of it being elastic is that it can be worn in a double layer around the neck since the stretch helps with it.The lotus metal pendant is cute, well-crafted, and can be worn either side. The mala is long enough to be worn in a double layer if you are not into long necklaces or as a bracelet too.

I chose the white jade mala, and I was skeptical because of the price. Usually, real jade is much more expensive, but I decided to try it. I used every test on this necklace and after passing plus some examination I can say pretty confidently that the white jade is real! It's not a high grade, but if you're okay with that like me, it's a win win. Beyond that, it's also gorgeous, arrived on time, and shipped super quickly.If you're looking for a good mala try these out!
