Handmade in Arizona by Darcy Borg (@darcy.does.malas)
Grounded in heart and strength, the Heart of the Earth Mala weaves together the life-giving energy of moss agate, the protective gleam of pyrite, and the raw humanity of a bronze anatomical heart pendant. Each bead is hand-knotted with silk thread — a meditation in itself — forming a sacred tool for mindfulness, intention, and renewal.
Moss Agate
Revered since ancient times as a stone of gardeners and healers, moss agate was carried for fertility, abundance, and deep connection to nature. Its gentle green hues mirror the renewal of spring, grounding the spirit in balance and growth. Metaphysically, moss agate is said to open the heart chakra, harmonize emotions, and bring peace to the mind — making it a perfect ally for new beginnings and emotional grounding.
Pyrite
Known as Fool’s Gold in the 16th century, pyrite has long symbolized protection, vitality, and manifestation. Its golden sheen reflects confidence and clarity, shielding against negativity while inspiring action and willpower. Spiritually, pyrite energizes the solar plexus chakra, empowering one to move forward with courage and purpose.
Bronze Anatomical Heart
A symbol of courage and compassion, the bronze anatomical heart serves as a tangible reminder of resilience and love — both human and divine. Bronze, an ancient metal alloy, has been associated with endurance and the blending of opposites: art and alchemy, heart and strength.
This mala is for those who walk the earth with tenderness, grounded in purpose and guided by heart.
