✺Opalite is a semi-precious stone of unique beauty and extraordinary brilliance. Its name comes from the Greek word "opallios" which means "color changing".

✺Opalite has many meanings and uses. In the past, it was considered a stone that brought good luck and protection against evil spirits. It was believed to have the power to harmonize life energy and attract love and prosperity.

✺ Topped with a bead with the OM symbol - according to Hindu traditions, OM ॐ is the primordial sound of the universe. Due to the introduction of higher vibrations, this word is used for chanting - it is the oldest Buddhist and Hindu mantra. The OM symbol has over 100 meanings in Hindi (all positive :-)).

✺ Mala, or prayer rope, is a Buddhist rosary used for praying, meditating or counting mantras while meditating. In Sanskrit, the name means "wreath, necklace, mumbling prayer."

✺ Wearing it every day reminds you of the intention with which we are working at the moment. It can also be a talisman that brings peace and happiness to our lifes. It protects against failure, supports spiritual and personal development. Everyone can wear it in their own way and with their own intention.

✺ The mala can be worn as a necklace or wrapped several times around the wrist as a bracelet.

✺ The traditional large mala is a string on which 108 round beads are strung.

The number 108 is due to many reasons. One of them is the belief that we have 6 senses that receive 6 types of sensations in three time planes (6x6x3=108).

Another theory says that in Hinduism the number 108 is considered sacred (1 - god, universe, the highest truth, 0 - emptiness, humility in spiritual practice, 8 - infinity, timelessness).
