Chrome Diopside & Chrysoprase Mala-Inspired Necklace
108 beads • Chrome Diopside Pendant • Clasp closure
This unique piece bridges the traditional mala with a modern touch. Composed of 108 luminous chrysoprase beads and centered around a striking chrome diopside pendant, it marks the first in my collection to feature a clasp — offering versatility as both a meditative tool and a wearable statement necklace.
Materials & Meaning
The pendant is made from chrome diopside, a rare gemstone sourced from the remote, frozen tundras of Siberia. With its vibrant, forest-green hue, chrome diopside is not only geologically remarkable but is also valued for its metaphysical association with the heart chakra. It is believed to enhance emotional healing, stimulate compassion, and foster a deep connection to the Earth.
The strand features chrysoprase, a highly prized green chalcedony treasured since antiquity for its soft, uplifting energy. Metaphysically, it is known to open the heart, ease anxiety, and encourage forgiveness, truth, and inner growth.
Usefulness
This necklace is ideal for those who seek a balance of beauty and intention. With 108 beads, it can still be used for mantra meditation or breathwork. The clasp allows for ease of wear, offering a shorter length than traditional malas — perfect for everyday adornment with deep meaning.
Whether worn for spiritual practice, emotional support, or simple aesthetic joy, this piece is a heartfelt companion on your journey.
