The long and short of it is that these mala beads are absolutely beautiful and of excellent quality as well. I'm so very glad that I found these folks and decided to purchase this set from them, specifically. I ordered the 8mm, knotted, black obsidian Mala beads with the tassel, and I'm extremely staisfied with my purchase. It's an even nicer set than I expected it to be. There are cheaper Mala beads out there but you get what you pay for and these handmade Mala are definitely worth every penny.The string the set is held together with is a very nice, black silk- soft and strong. Each of the 108 8-mm beads is genuine black obsidian and they're all very accurate and none of them stand out as bigger or smaller than any other, but you can see up close and feel that no two are exactly the same, and I really dig that.The set I ordered and received has a nice, weighty feel to it, weighing in at 90.75g, which feels like the perfect mass to me (and for reference, if you'd like to "feel" the approximate mass of the mala beads I received, holding 90.75g in your hand can be approximated by holding 16 US quarters or 36 US pennies in your hand.)If you've never owned a set of Mala beads before, I'd definitely suggest going with the knotted Mala; the knots make it easier to pull each bead toward you with your thumb and it makes the set last longer as well. I don't have the biggest hands, but I do have relatively large hands, and ordering the 8mm beads was definitely right choice for me. 8mm is about the size of a pea and if you have bigger hands then less than 8mm will probably be a little more difficult to handle as smoothly as the 8mm beads.My Mala beads came with a nice, soft, cotton pouch to protect them and keep them clean when I'm not using or wearing them, and the cotton pouch came inside a nice, branded black box. My Mala also came with instructions and I must commend these folks for getting the instructions all right, unlike most of the YouTube videos out there (there are specific reasons for why Mala beads are held and used the way they're held and used!) These folks know what they're doing!All in all, you can really tell these folks care a lot about the quality of product they put out there and the price of this Mala was both affordable and very fair. I'm exceedingly happy with my purchase and I'll definitely be ordering a couple more sets from these folks in the future.Five stars all the way.Hare Krishna!

I have purchased the Red Tassel Lava Rock, Amethyst, Tiger Eye, and Howlite Turquoise malas. The other reviews convinced me that these malas are exceptionally well made and they are. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the malas are stunningly gorgeous. I have a large collection of malas that are mostly made from wood or shells, but the gemstone malas intrigued me and I bought four of them. Plus two bracelets. Skip the cheap ones. They’ll just fall apart. Go with these instead. Best on Amazon, in my opinion.9/21/17 update: I have purchased the White Howlite mala as well and, in a word, gorgeous. I love every gemstone mala that I’ve purchased from MeruBeads and I might purchase the remaining ones that I don’t have, simply because each represents different qualities and energy and frankly, I need all of them!9/24/17 update: Per my previous update, I purchased the remaining two malas that I didn’t have (Obsidian Black and Rhodonite) and I now have all of them. Both, like the others, are amazingly beautiful, well crafted, and provide all of the different energies that I need.10/2/17 update: I purchased the Blue Tassel Lava Rock mala and, without exception, it’s as superb in quality and craftsmanship as my other purchases. I now have all 8 of them.You really cannot go wrong with any of them. They may cost more than the cheap ones sold by other vendors, but it’s very clear that they’re all made with care and are designed to last. I recommend any of them. Great for gifts as well.Disclaimer: I don’t have any affiliation with MeruBeads nor was I offered any incentive to post a positive review. I just want anyone considering purchasing any one of them to have a legitimate and unbiased review.

Just as good quality and durability as malas I made for myself.Love the very slightly coated sandalwood beads. Fun fact, without any coating, these natural and delightfully scented beads, would quickly become soiled and probably stained by daily wear, and the color would dull as well. Nobody wants that, do we now.The silk tassel is super delicious and looks like it will last forever, as do the individually knotted beads, which are not too large, not too small, just the right size...and baby bear thinks they are perfect. Whick they certainly are.The price reflects the high quality and durability and just plain lovliness of this mala I will absolutely purchase from this seller again and again.

Purchased the green nephrite mala. Stones appear authentic and very very good. As a prayer/meditation beads I give it a high 5 stars for quality of stones, knots between stones, and good feel in one's hands during meditation. On the other hand the tassel became unraveled in the first month. I wear the mala frequently as a reminder to pray/meditate. After the tassel unraveled it looked like a mess so I cut most of the tassel off and gave it a haircut/tassel cut. Since giving it a haircut/tassel cut it looks just fine, large stone still is connected, and still usable as meditation beads & worn on the wrist.If you don't wear the beads on your wrist, the tassel should not unravel. If you wear them as a prayer/meditation reminder then the tassel most likely will not survive. Highly recommend for quality of stones and knotwork. Tassel is the only questionable part of the product.
