These special Palo Santo Wood Mala Beads come as a lightweight prayer for your everyday wear. Palo Santo is a tree native mostly to Central and South America. It is a beloved and sought after scent, usually cut down for incense. By making beads out of the wood instead of incense wands, we are continuing the sanctuary of these trees by allowing them to last forever as part of our adornment instead of burning them. While the burning of Palo Santo is sacred and special, these mala beads allow the wearer to be in a walking mediation with the same effect that lasts a lifetime. This mala is anchored with a red quartzite for stability, strong identity, foundation, financial & physical security, and generosity of spirit.
