African Sodalite 12mm Mala Bead or Guru Bead

African Sodalite is named for its sodium content and may be classified as a feldspathoid. It is a brilliant to deep blue with white to gray inclusions. Sodalite is sometimes referred to as “poor man’s lapis” because of its similar color and much lower cost. Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, Princess Patricia of Connaught, was inspired by the stone and chose it for the interior decorations of Marlborough House in England. This prompted an alternative name for the gemstone: Princess Blue.


A mala is a string of 108 beads with one bead as the summit or head bead called a 'sumeru. ' Malas are used as a tool to help the mind focus on meditation, or count mantras in sets of 108 repetitions.


Most traditional Malas have a larger bead at the end of the necklace that is called the Guru Bead. ... The Guru Bead is used to create intention within the wearer and to be a reminder of the motives for sitting in meditation. There is also a Tassel at the end of most traditional Mala necklaces that lay below the Guru Bead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your stones authentic?

Our stone beads and pendants are purchased from a US company that ethically sources it’s raw material. Although rare, anything different will be noted in the description.

Why do you not have a large variety of stone beads?

We watch our manufacturer for sales and special runs and buy when it allows us to offer our customers the best price. Stone beads we do list are a limited supply.

There is something missing or wrong with my order. What do I do?

Unfortunately there is a scamming trend where people go back to old orders and claimed they never received something. We triple check all orders and document on the packing slip we enclose with each order. We are only human and do make mistakes but if you have an issue, you have one week from delivery confirmation to let us know. You must also have and submit a picture of the original packing slip.
