KNOTTED UNAKITE 108 MALA
This is a rather classical, hand-knotted full mala; I usually like to make the knotted type when I am using gemstones, it feels more secure with the heavier beads. I roughly arraged the unakite beads so that the ones with more pink in them are placed closer to the guru and the almost purely green ones close to the middle, which gives the colour of the mala a slightly graded (and calmer) look. The real colour of the tassel is best shown in the last photo. Markers after every 27 bead, dividing the mala into quarters.
Materials:
108 counting beads: unakite, 6 mm
Guru bead: unakite, 10 mm
Marker beads: onyx, 6 mm
Decorative bead above the tassel: onyx, 8 mm
Black beading string, doubled
