Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet

The Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet brings Obsidian into focus through a 108-bead counting structure. Its colour relationship and polished surfaces create an immediate visual identity, while the wearable proportions suit everyday styling, a mindful personal ritual or a gift chosen for its colour and composition.

108-Bead Structure & Pixiu Details

The Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet combines Obsidian with a 108-bead counting structure. A full mala is organised around repetition for counting breaths or mantras. The guru or focal area, spacer beads and tassel or charm help the wearer identify the start and completion of a round.

Using a 108-Bead Mala for Counting Practice

In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, 108-bead malas are used to count repeated mantras, breaths or prayers. With the Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet, practice can begin beside the guru bead and continue around the strand without counting the guru itself. Traditions differ, so respectful use and an accurate bead count matter more than claiming one universal method.

Mala Materials, Bead Count & Strand Length

Obsidian is volcanic glass, recognised in jewellery for its smooth polish and glass-like surface. As with bead jewellery, colour, pattern, inclusions, translucency and surface details can vary between individual components.

• Product type: Mala
• Primary materials: Obsidian

Meditation, Counting Practice & Wrist Wear

Use the Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet for mantra, breath or prayer counting when its bead count and guru area match the intended practice. If worn around the wrist, wrap it without pulling the cord tight or twisting the focal section. The mala can also be worn as a long necklace when its total length and construction support that use.

Care for Obsidian

Keep seed, wood and cord components dry. Remove the strand before bathing, swimming, exercise or sleep; wipe beads with a soft dry cloth and store the mala without pulling the cord tight. Water, fragrance and chemical cleaners can change botanical materials and weaken stringing.

Questions About the Chinese Zodiac Obsidian Pixiu Protection Mala Bracelet

Is this a full 108-bead mala?

Check the listed bead count before ordering. The specification gives a 108-bead design, while spacers, the guru bead and decorative components may be counted separately by different makers.

Can the mala be wrapped around the wrist?

That depends on total length, bead diameter, cord flexibility and wrist size. Wrap without stretching or twisting the strand, and avoid wrist wear when it places tension on the guru bead, tassel or knots.
