Sandalwood has traditionally been regarded as one of the purest substances and is valued for its cooling properties as well as medicinal value. Its unique fragrance is known to promote tranquility and focus when used in meditation. Our 108 bead malas are 100 Sandalwood which is both fragrant and exceedingly smooth to the touch. These beads come in their own gossamer pouch for easy storage and protection. The small necklace is 12 in long and the beads are 6 mm. It easily wraps into a wrist bracelet.
