Amethyst 7mm Bead Mala with Rough Rose Quartz

Amethyst 7mm Bead Mala with Rough Rose Quartz (shop SKU AMRQTA) is a mala on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Rose quartz is the pink variety of quartz. In crystal traditions, rose quartz is associated with love, including love for oneself. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. The title gives a bead size of 7 mm.

A mala is a strand of prayer beads used in Hindu and Buddhist practice to count mantra repetitions during meditation. Because beads are cut from natural materials, color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.

• Bead size: 7 mm (as listed)
