{"product_id":"amethyst-mala-with-mixed-stone-beads","title":"Amethyst Mala Necklace — Carnelian, Apatite \u0026 Tiger's Eye Beads","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mala is a counting tool before it is a necklace, and the difference shows in how it is strung — beads sized to be moved one at a time under the thumb rather than to sit flat against the collarbone. This one is built on amethyst, with carnelian, blue quartz, blue apatite and blue tiger's eye worked through the strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour logic is deliberate: cool purple and blue running most of the way round, interrupted by the warm orange of the carnelian. At 16.5 inches it sits high rather than long, so it works as a worn piece as much as a practice one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmethyst bead mala\u003c\/strong\u003e with mixed gemstone beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarnelian, blue quartz, blue apatite and blue tiger's eye\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e strand length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e66 g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 3 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor counting practice, hold the strand over the middle finger and move one bead at a time with the thumb, working in one direction. Worn, at 16.5 inches it sits at the base of the throat — short enough to layer under a longer chain without tangling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake it off before showering or swimming. Strung gemstone beads are held on a cord, and repeated wetting weakens the thread long before it affects the stones. Store it coiled flat rather than hung, which keeps tension off the knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eWhat is on the strand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:1.2em 0;font-size:.96em;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eStone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eColour it brings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eAmethyst\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eThe base of the mala — purple, the dominant colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eCarnelian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWarm orange; the contrast note against the purples and blues\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBlue quartz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eSoft, cloudy pale blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBlue apatite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eThe most saturated blue on the strand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBlue tiger's eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBanded and chatoyant — it shifts as the light moves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#e8e4dc;padding:1.4em 1.5em;border-radius:10px;margin:1.8em 0;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin:0 0 .5em;font-size:1.1em;\"\u003e✨ Temple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eIf you use it for counting rather than wearing, work it in the same direction every time.
