African Bloodstone Mala Bead Bracelet-8mm

Mystical African Bloodstone Mala bracelet. These highly polished African Bloodstone 8mm beads are strung on a stretchy chord for sizing versatility. Bloodstone is a form of Jasper where the dark green color of the stone is flecked with red, hence the name bloodstone. The red coloration arises from the presence of hematite which is a form of iron oxide. Bloodstone is said to aid in detoxification of the body and help stave off negative energies. Mala bead bracelets are used in both meditation and prayer. Like a rosary, each bead represents a mantra or prayer. Smooth to the touch, Mala beads help you to remain focus by being a tactile reminder of what you are meant to be doing; meditating or praying. The bracelet in the photo is representative of the one you will receive.
