Meaning & Intention

African turquoise jasper is often called the stone of evolution, named for its mottled patterns of moss green, brown, and sky blue. Where classic turquoise is prized for protection, this jasper variety is said to accompany you through change, nudging you toward growth rather than shielding you from it.

Strung as a 108-bead mala, the stone's themes align with the mala's own purpose: repetition and return, one bead, one breath, one mantra at a time. It is traditionally associated with opening the mind to new possibility.

The Guru bead marks the completion of each cycle around the mala, a small pause that mirrors the larger idea at the heart of this stone: growth is a loop you return to, a little changed each time.

Questions & Guidance

How do I use a 108-bead mala?

Starting at the bead next to the Guru bead, move through each of the 108 beads one at a time with your thumb, reciting a mantra or breath count on each one until you return to the Guru bead.

What is the Guru bead for?

It marks the start and end point of the mala. Traditionally you pause here rather than crossing over it, using the moment to reflect before beginning another round.

Is this made of real turquoise?

No. African turquoise is a variety of jasper valued for its turquoise-like blue-green tones and web-like patterning, not the mineral turquoise itself.
