Mala Rock Crystal, Rhodochrosite (pick-me-up)

The gemstone malas consist of 46 Rhodochrosite beads, 24 Rock Crystal beads (6mm diameter), 38 Rudraksha nuts and are carefully knotted by hand with a thread matching the color of the Rhodochrosite.

A pendant with the Om symbol and a chili pod (all made of 925 silver) is attached to the back of the malas.

The rhodochrosite and Rock Crystal prayer beads are 86 cm long; the tassel is a further 8 cm long.

Rock Crystal is used in modern gemstone healing to promote clarity and neutrality; the mineral improves perception and brings clarity of thought, making it ideal for mala necklaces. Rock Crystal is perfectly complemented by the pink-colored Rhodochrosite; the mineral stands for activity, cheerfulness and dynamism.

Rudraksha nuts are seeds that are traditionally dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva and are worn as a source of protection and inspiration. Rudrakshas are widely used as natural-looking jewelry in India and Nepal and are valued in a similar way to gemstones.

The gemstone painting necklace "Muntermacher" is part of the Chili Jewels "Spirit Line" collection.

Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) initially named rhodochrosite manganese spar, taking into account its chemical composition and good cleavage properties. Friedrich Hausmann (1782-1859) gave rhodochrosite its current name "Rhodochrosite" in 1813. This is derived from the ancient Greek words "rhodo" (rose) and "chrosit" (color). Spellings such as rhodhocrosite, rhodochosite, rhodocrosite, rodhocrhosite, rodochrosite or rodocrosite are therefore incorrect. Nowadays, obsolete names for Rhodochrosite are Inkaspat/Inkarose, raspberry spar, rose spar and manganese spar.
