A "Coral Mala Natural Precious Stone's (Silver Cap)" is a ceremonial or meditation necklace featuring beads made from natural, precious coral, typically with a decorative silver cap on one or more beads. This piece combines the organic beauty and astrological significance of the red coral gemstone with the spiritual properties of silver.
Features and materials
Natural precious coral (Moonga): An organic gemstone formed from the skeletal remains of marine organisms, rather than being mined from the earth. The coral beads can range from salmon-pink to deep red and have a smooth, polished texture.
Silver caps: These are decorative metal fixtures, often placed on the beads of the mala. They are typically made from high-purity silver, such as 925 sterling silver, which is durable and tarnish-resistant.
Mala design: A mala traditionally consists of 108 beads, plus a larger "guru" bead, and is used for counting mantras during meditation (japa). The inclusion of silver caps adds an elegant and graceful aesthetic to the natural coral beads.
