Purple Amethyst - Mala Beads

'Natural Tranquilliser' stone relieves stress.
Semi precious stone prayer beads or mala beads are patronized for their spiritual and astrological significance, besides their exceedingly attractive appearance. The malas (strings) of these beads are NOT usually used for japa or mantra recitation; instead they are usually worn on the body for their relevant energies and aura. They may be worn around the neck, on the wrist (by wrapping a couple of times) or any other part as one may feel the need.

The belief on a metaphysical level and according to gem healing is that these stones absorb specific energies which then lie concentrated in them. When worn, these have an aura altering effect on a person. Consequently these beads bring about changes in personality and in fortune and future (at the astrological level).
