A really special old Bodhiseed mala. There are 107 Bodhiseed beads plus 1 single conch shell bead which makes up the 108. The conch is very old and matched with the Bodhiseed in size. It is quite normal for seeds to be replaced with other beads if they become lost or they break. It is also considered acceptable to use a mala as long as it has 100 or more seeds. It has a wonderful feel to it and a patina on the seeds that only develops from millions of mantra recitations over many decades.

It includes three very nice quality genuine turquoise dividers.

The three kaya guru bead is comprised of an antique conch bead, an antique red coral and a lapis lazuli bead. Om (enlightened body) is represented by the conch, Ah (enlightened speech) is the red coral and Hung (enlightened mind) is the blue lapis. Om Ah Hung! The three part guru bead is recommended by Guru Rinpoche as part of the correct ritual use of a mala (see Generating the deity by Gyatrul Rinpoche). It has been re-strung on a 5 coloured braided rainbow cord.

The seed measures approx 7 mm width and 9 mm diamater. They are worn smooth from millions of mantra recitations.

Origin: Tibet/Himalayas
Bodhiseed approx 9 to 10 mm
Condition: Very good
