Monumental Tibetan 108-Bead Fossil Shell Mala.

This impressive Mala, originating from the spiritual heart of Nepal, is a rare find due to the use of fossilized shell. The prayer beads consist of the traditional 108 beads, a sacred number in both Buddhism and Hinduism, representing the overcoming of 108 earthly sins on the path to enlightenment.

The beads are crafted from fossilized shell, a material formed over aeons in the high mountain ranges of the Himalayas. In Nepalese tradition, these fossils are deeply revered; they carry the energy of millennia and symbolize impermanence and the cycle of life. The cool, heavy nature of the fossil beads (totaling 317 grams) provides the mala with a calming and grounding presence during meditation or mantra recitation.

With a generous length of approximately 130 cm and beads 1.5 cm in diameter, this object is not only a powerful spiritual tool but also a museum-quality decorative piece. At John Specialobjects, we offer this exceptional mala at a highly competitive price, perfect for the collector of ethnographica or the practitioner seeking a tool with both physical and symbolic weight.
