Gobi Desert Agate Mala Bead Necklace - One of a Kind, 23 In

How many ways can one necklace be worn? This Gobi desert agate mala goes long, doubled, as a lariat or wrapped around the wrist.

Every bead is a Gobi desert agate, strung on a silver colored rope with a beaded center piece. These are the colorful stones traders call Candy agate, and the beads have not been dyed, enhanced or artificially colored in any way, so the mix of tones is natural. Worn long it hangs well over a plain top; wrapped twice it becomes a shorter layered necklace, and doubled with the center pulled through the loop it makes the lariat shown in the photos. It is a thoughtful choice for a yoga or meditation practice, or for anyone who simply wants a piece of jewelry with a story behind the stones.

About Gobi Desert Agate and Malas

Gobi agates come from the Alashan, or Alxa, plateau of the southwestern Gobi Desert, where nomadic collectors gather them from remote sites reachable only a few months a year. Desert storms tumble and sandblast the stones, which shapes their varied textures. A traditional mala has 108 beads and is used to count repetitions of a mantra or prayer.

Stone Meaning: Agate is traditionally associated with balance and stability.
