I recently returned from my 4th Buddhist Pilgrimage to Nepal. This year I was also fortunate to spend 4 days in Bhutan visiting many sacred Vajrayana locations including the revered Tigers' Nest Monastery (Taktsang Gonga). Along the way, I hand-selected many Buddhist objects and practice supplies.
This is a very high quality amber mala I picked up this year in late April in Kathmandu. I was fortunate to have found this seller and the quality products offered. The bead size average 9.6mm to 9.8mm and I am saying it is just under 10mm or 9.8mm. Amber malas in this size and quality are harder to find. The color tone is a rich golden-yellow or copper-yellow and is very unique. The feel of the mala is delicate and smooth as is the nature of amber.
The mala is laced with a nylon cord that is tied off. The guru bead is 16.5mm in size and there are 10 decoration amber beads at the bottom of the mala. The overall length of the mala is 21.25 inches or 53.96cm from the top to the bottom of the guru bead. From the top to the bottom of the decoration beads is 24.0 inches or 60.96cm. This is a beautiful mala and would be a beneficial support to your practice, or as a gift to you dharma teacher or friend.
Please reach out to me with any questions.
