A dark sacred hardwood traditionally used for ritual objects.
Choose from solid black beads from our original Indian ebony source (#1601) or our new premium quality Philippine tiger ebony beads (#1604), which feature a mix of black and brown swirls and stripes, and are sourced from an artisan family in the Philippines who have been handcrafting these gorgeous beads in their home workshop for more than 30 years.
Now handmade by Vallabhdas here in California, these malas have 27 (+1 guru) beads, approximately 8mm, and are knotted with pure Italian cotton thread and tassel.
