108 crystal beads joined with a cord.

This mala is made of 108 crystal beads joined with a cord. A mala is a string of beads, used like a rosary, to facilitate concentration on a mantra. "Complete freedom from the bondage of mind and ego will create a flow of love within. People are bound by the past and the future; that is why it so difficult to find true love in the world. In order to really be able to love, both the past and the future must dissolve and disappear."--Amma
