phoenix outdoor108 Destiny Nepal Prayer Full Metal Buddism Bead Mala Necklace (full brass)

This is my second mala bought from Phoenix. I originally bought the steel and this time tried the brass. It's really a fantastic mala...super strong and a nice weight to it. The adjustment hex screw certainly does do something as I've needed to loosen it a touch so the beads aren't so tightly pushed together. The brass is also a great metal for a mala but be prepared that as you use it, your fingers are polishing the beads and the copper content in brass will leave a dark stain on your fingers...easily removed afterward with water. If you've ever had a mala break at inopportune times it's great to finally have an industrial strength cord (not to mention the peacekeeper function available if needed). Highly recommend.

You will not forget you are wearing or carrying them for a moment. Of course, you will appreciate that same weight if you should ever use them to bring another's behavior back in line with social norms.

I’m very happy with this necklace as it has good weight to it and could do some serious damage if swung at someone. Wrapped around my fist 5times was too tight and 4 times was too loose but if needed it would do the job and it would vary from hand to hand size. Haven’t tried hanging from it but don’t think I will as I feel it would wear down faster. The box it came in was very nice and cute. Only downside is it looks a little scuffed all over, not sure if it was previously returned or just from being handled where it was manufactured but it definitely has a slightly used look if you look close at it.

Literally that’s all that needs to be said.

Very nice. Beautiful and work great for meditation

Very special look and deel

good fast shiping2

I've been looking for an unbreakable mala for so long honestly I'm not sure I was ready to actually have one. Because of the steel cord, it is heavy, no joke - found myself using it as a weighted blanket at night and a posture corrector during the day. That being said, it's well made but the tightening screw doesn't feel like it actually does anything.
