This mala has made of 108 beads alternating between five faced Rudraksha and quartz crystal in thread with knots between the beads. This mala is favourite of yoga practitioners in general and naturally Shiv bhaktas in particular. Certain wrathful sadhanas in Tibetan Buddhism also incorporate Rudraksha.
This particular mala has genuine quartz crystal; a feminine, ethereal cold element, with the Rudraksha; a masculine earthy, hot element, which has been described as perfectly balanced and recommended by many gurus and sages.
