The Balance mala features white agate, grey agate, bamboo leaf agate and white jade. Agates are a type of chalcedony formed through the process of silicification deep in the cavities of igneous rock. All agates are known as stones of protection, balance, and stability and are thought to have a deep connection to the energy of the earth, due to their volcanic origins.
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.
Grey agate brings strength, grounding, and comfort. It is also known for balancing yin and yang energies and is said to bring stability in times of turmoil and to improve concentration and clarity of perception.
White agate is associated with peace, calmness, purity, and protection. It is believed to be beneficial for mental issues, including everyday challenges such as frustration and anxiety. It is believed to stimulate the crown chakra and is often used to make worry stones.
White jade is associated with the power and purity of white light and is thought to bring luck in and prosperity in all aspects of life. It has a powerful healing energy and said to assist in easing the pains of arthritis and other illnesses related to the joints and bones.
