The mala bracelet features matte bamboo leaf agate, white fossil jasper and bronzite. Since bamboo is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility, it has come to represent harmony and balance in one's life. As such, it is considered lucky in many Asian cultures. Like its namesake, bamboo leaf agate is a stone of harmony, balance and creativity. It has a gentle energy which dispels negativity and is helpful in relieving stress, enhancing memory, focus and energy. Bamboo agate prevents over thinking and increases self confidence and optimism. Physically bamboo leaf agate balances yin/yang energy, soothes the nervous system and helps cells regenerate. The soft earth tones and organic banding found in bamboo agate reflect its gentle and beneficial energy. Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer” because it sustains and supports through times of stress, bringing tranquility, stability, and balance while protecting us and absorbing negative energy. White fossil jasper is known to alleviate stress and promote tranquility. Bronzite is known as the "Stone of Focused Action" as well as the "Stone of Courtesy". Bronzite promotes certainty and control, encourages us to take control over our own actions and enables us to be sure about what it is that we want in our lives. Bronzite can alleviate the nervous anxiety that comes from new situations. A grounding stone, Bronzite also instills a sense of “stillness”, allowing you to be more objective, see the bigger picture, and make more informed decisions. Bronzite also enhances creativity and forward-thinking. It can also dispel negative energy, especially for those under “psychic attack”, sending the negativity back to its sender. Physically, Bronzite eases stress, warms the extremities, helps with digestion, and supports healthy kidney function. It also balances the body’s pH balance and enhances the assimilation of iron.
