The old stories have it that God himself, in
the form of Lord Shiva, wept over seeing the
plight of humanity mired in materialism. A
single tear fell to the earth and from this
sprouted the first Rudraksha Tree, a sign of
His compassion. The seeds are said to be
sacred, and to contain many beneficial
powers. Seeds of the Rudraksha tree have
been used in malas since ancient times,
adorning sages and saints seeking
enlightenment and liberation. (Malas are
traditionally used to count rotations of the
breath, or repetitions of a mantra.)
These are simply the most beautiful
Rudraksha Malas we have ever
seen! They are skillfully strung in
Rishikesh, India, in garlands of the
traditional 108 beads. Only small
Rudraksha seeds, which are said
to be the most powerful, are used.

Rudraksha Malas
These beautiful Malas are made of dark
green aventurine with pearl counter beads.
These are also strung in Rishikesh, India, in
garlands of the traditional 108 beads.
It is said that aventurine is an all-purpose healer used to reduce stress, develop
confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says
that aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer's
creativity.
Many also believe that aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and
bring about inner peace.
