Yak Bone Mala 108 Beads with Tiger Eye Spacers I just strung this mala, because i thought it would be nice to have a yak bone mala with semi precious stone spacers. There are 108 yak bone mala plus 3 tiger eye spacers with total of 111 beads. There are also 6 small carnelian tassel. Each bone bead measures 7.5mm and the circumference of the mala is 32 inches long and it can be wrapped around wrist 3 to 4 times depending size of your wrist. Prayer Mala or beads are usually used by Buddhists around the world especially in Tibet, Nepal and India and used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration and those counters are especially for counting when you do prostration or in a retreat for counting mantras. Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use.
