Yak bone has always been known in our Himalayas – every family had such a mala at home somewhere.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYak Bone Mala – 108 Beads with Turquoise \u0026amp; Red Wooden Beads (⌀ 10 mm)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis mala consists of 108 flat yak bone beads, each with a diameter of 10 mm and a total weight of around 75 grams. Yak bone has been used for malas in the Himalayas for centuries – the animal is omnipresent in Tibetan daily life, and its processing into jewellery has a long tradition. The creamy white, almost ivory-coloured hue makes this mala one of the brightest and friendliest in our range – a clear contrast to the dark Rudraksha and ebony variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 10 mm diameter, this mala feels noticeably fuller in the hand than smaller variants – the beads are present, but still comfortable to wear due to the light yak bone material. At two points in the strand, small colour accents of real turquoise and red wooden beads are added – one turquoise nugget, framed by two round red wooden beads and fine metal spacers. The warm red tones form a harmonious contrast to the natural turquoise and the light colour of the yak bone and reflect the traditional colour palettes of the Himalayas. The finish is simple – a red thread without a large tassel, with two small end beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYak Bone, Turquoise \u0026amp; Red Wooden Beads – Harmonious Colour Scheme\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Himalayas, yak bone is considered an earthy, everyday material – robust, durable, and deeply connected to the lives of nomadic and mountain peoples. Turquoise has been valued in Tibetan culture for centuries and traditionally stands for protection, vastness, and connection to the sky. The red wooden beads add a warm colour accent and emphasize the traditional character of the mala, without obscuring the natural impression of the materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e108 is a sacred number in Buddhism – it stands for the 108 worldly desires that one releases through meditation and mantra recitation. With each bead, you speak a mantra, a wish, a breath. The bright yak bone beads feel particularly light in the hand – ideal for anyone looking for a mala for everyday use, not just for quiet meditation at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eYak bone is robust but porous – avoid direct contact with perfume, creams, or soap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise is also porous – here too: keep as dry as possible and do not bring into contact with chemicals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe red wooden beads should be protected from prolonged moisture and aggressive cleaning agents so that their colour lasts a long time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStore the mala in its brocade pouch when not in use – this protects it and maintains its energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor meditation: hold the mala in your right hand, thumb and middle finger guide the beads – the index finger is traditionally left out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"hv-divider\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Pouch – a Small Token of Appreciation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach mala is delivered in a matching brocade pouch.
