Lapis is the deep blue stone flecked with gold pyrite that scribes and kings wore in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and on a strand of 108 beads the flecks and white veins vary from bead to bead so the mala has depth as well as colour. The beads are 6 to 8mm and the strand 60 to 80cm, worn long, wrapped at the wrist, or held for japa, the practice of counting a mantra once per bead through a full round of 108. The guru bead marks the start and finish. Lapis is the stone of truth and wisdom in crystal practice, linked to the throat and third eye, so this mala suits mantras about speaking clearly and seeing straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLapis lazuli beads, 108 plus guru bead.
