Free Spirit Gemstone Mala

There's a particular kind of person this mala was made for — the one who doesn't sit still for long, who's always halfway through planning the next thing, and who needs jewellery that can keep up without getting in the way.

Amazonite runs through it in soft blue-green — a stone associated with calm and with easier communication, useful for someone who talks to a lot of people in a day. Jasper adds an earthier note, often described as steadying during stressful stretches, the kind of stone that helps you keep moving instead of getting stuck. At the centre, a Turquoise guru bead — a stone with a long history of being carried by travellers, associated with protection on the road and a settled mind wherever you land.

This is a mala for new beginnings — a trip, a move, a new way of living — and for the resilience that takes. You'll find it filed under New Beginnings and Strength & Protection here.

Made from 108 beads of 8mm, with a few 6mm beads woven in, hanging to approximately 60cm including the tassel. Handknotted by me, one knot at a time.

Note: as these are natural gemstones, each one carries its own markings and shades, so your mala may vary slightly from the photos.
