Yak Bone 108 Mala Beads

Materials:
- Yak bone beads: Natural yak bone; ivory to tan; visible grain and surface texture variation
- Cord: Durable braided cord; ends finished with silk tassel or braided cord
- Guru bead: Single larger bead at the mala terminus
Use:
The beads are used for counting during mantra recitation or meditation practice. The standard count is 108 beads; the guru bead marks the starting and ending point.
Use and Handling:
- Remove before water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals
- Wipe with a dry cloth
- Store in a jewelry pouch or mala bag when not in use
Note: Natural bone varies in color and surface character. Every mala is unique.
Care Instructions
Bone and horn are natural materials, so subtle differences in color, grain, and surface texture are expected. Handle your piece gently to help preserve its finish.
- Keep it dry: Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising, or prolonged contact with water.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfume, lotion, hairspray, alcohol, household cleaners, and other harsh products.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak or use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
- Avoid heat and strong sunlight: Prolonged exposure may dry, fade, or alter natural materials.
- Store separately: Keep in a dry pouch or lined box to reduce scratches and contact with harder jewelry.
Natural variation is part of the character of bone and horn; each piece may differ slightly from the photographs.

PRACTICE GUIDE Mala beads are used to count repeated prayers, mantras, or other recitations. A full strand often contains 108 beads, while separators, counters, and a larger guru bead can help organize the count. Materials and construction vary widely, from seeds and wood to stone, bone, and metal. This guide breaks down the parts of a mala, explains what bead count and size change in daily use, and shows how to handle and store a strand with care. ABOUT SACRED TIBET At Sacred Tibet, selection begins with material, proportion, and meaning. We look for tactile surfaces, balanced forms, and symbols drawn from Tibetan and Himalayan visual traditions. Since 2016, we have built a considered collection of jewelry, prayer beads, art, and ritual objects—pieces chosen to be worn often, kept close, and given with intention. Each one is presented with the detail needed to understand its design, appreciate its character, and care for it well.DISCOVER
