• An exclusive and limited edition DharmaShop design made with a combination of obsidian beads and high quality labradorite accents.
• A statuesque labradorite skull pendant from Nepal finishes the mala.  The pendant is completely hand carved and detailed with precision before being fixed in an intricately etched sterling silver setting.
• In Buddhism, the skull is often recognized as a symbol of impermanence.  It is a powerful reminder to be here now and to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.

Labradorite is believed to open the wearer up to their natural intuition and creativity.  Its beauty and layered color comes from the thousands of years of mineral plates sliding together, piling on top of each other to create the many lines and veins of colors deep into the stone.

Obsidian is a very protective stone and is excellent for removing negativity; it is related primarily to the Root Chakra.  It is very useful to help you to let go of disharmony and shields against negative emotions.  Obsidian is a powerful stone for stimulating spiritual growth.

Mala measures approximately 40 inches around with a sliding adjustable knot.  Obsidian beads are 10mm, labradorite beads are 8-9mm.  Skull measures about 1.75 inches tall and 1 inch wide.
