Eye-catching color complements traditional Guru beads and Mala styles. Most Mala designs feature a large bead called the "Guru" or "Bindu" bead. This bead confirms the end of one round of prayer. On a traditional Mala the Guru bead is the 109th bead. The Guru bead is typically adorned with a tassel which represents enlightenment. Whether or not you want to create a traditional or whimsical Mala design, the Guru bead is the perfect piece to give you a seamless finished look. We suggest using 1mm C-lon to string these beads. Please view additional images for variances.
Our carnelian beads possess a rich, deep, orange-red color. Darker, more consistent orange carnelian is heat-treated to ensure the beauty and longevity of the color. The faceted cuts have an incredible eye-catching sparkle. If you're looking for carnelian with more color variation, check out our natural carnelian beads. Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony (microcrystalline/cryptocrystalline quartz). Its translucent, orangey-red coloration is primarily due to the presence of iron oxide.
Carnelian is an alternative birthstone for August. Metaphysically, it is believed to enable confidence and creativity.
