Striped Wood 108-Bead Mala with Beaded Tails

Dark, wavy lines run through warm brown wood beads in this 108-count mala. Its character comes from the striped grain, with some bead faces showing tight curves and others longer, sweeping lines. A dark cord knot and two short beaded tails complete the strand without a large pendant.

A close look at the wood

The supplier describes the material as ji chi mu, a Chinese wood trade name associated with this distinctive grain. This listing does not assign a botanical species or a verified country of origin. The principal beads are specified as approximately 6 mm, with 108 beads along the main strand. The smaller beads on the two decorative tails are additional to that main count.

The gallery shows the whole strand on a display stand, then loosely coiled on fabric. These views show the same arrangement from different angles; the stand, fabric and other styling objects are not part of your purchase. Grain and color vary naturally between individual beads and can appear different under different lighting.

A strand for intentional repetition

If you choose beads as a companion to a personal counting routine, the repeating grain gives each movement a small visual difference. A quiet practice can be as simple as sitting down without your phone and moving slowly through a repeated phrase. Your practice and its meaning remain your own; the strand is not sold with a claim of blessing, ceremonial provenance or a promised effect on health or fortune.

For a gift, consider whether the recipient wants a small-bead counting strand or specifically sized jewelry. This is not a universal-fit bracelet. If wearing length matters, ask us about the current configuration before ordering rather than estimating the finished length by multiplying bead count and diameter.

Keeping the grain in good condition

Use a soft, dry cloth for light cleaning and keep the strand away from soaking water, cleaning chemicals and direct perfume contact. Support the beads when lifting it rather than pulling on the tails. Store without tension on the cord and avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or a heat source.

Common questions

Are the tail beads included in the 108 count?

The documented 108 count describes the main strand; the two short beaded tails are additional decorative elements.

Is it a particular rare species of wood?

No species or rarity guarantee is offered. The material is described by its supplier trade name and visible grain.
