The « Moon-stars » Tibetan mala gets its name from the round eye (which represents the moon) and the multiple small eyes (which represent the stars) which adorn its beads. It has the peculiarity that its colour changes when it touches the skin and if it is polished regularly its initial colour turns intense brown over time.
The « Moon-stars » Tibetan mala beads come from a kind of rattan which is found in the tropical forests of the island of Hainan. The beads strung to the mala are made of turquoise. This stone has been chosen for its beauty but also for its symbolic power and the properties which are attributed to it against negative energies. Along with coral and amber, turquoise is one of the three stones that the Tibetans prefer and wear more often. Turquoise symbolises vital impulse for them.
