Black Onyx Mala

A black onyx mala — 108 genuine black onyx beads hand-knotted on silk thread, finished with a guru bead. A traditional meditation piece for counting breath or mantra, and a wearable strand for the days that call for a steadier footing.

Black onyx is a deep, solid stone traditionally associated with strength, willpower, and a sense of grounding. Many people reach for it during demanding stretches as a reminder to stay steady and rooted — a quiet counterweight to a busy or unsettled mind. It is also worn as a protective presence in many traditions, kept close for a sense of inner resolve.

Worn as a mala necklace or wrapped around the wrist, it becomes a tactile anchor during meditation or a personal cue throughout the day. At Earthward, we hand-knot each piece and pair it with a simple intention card.

Keep the mala dry — avoid swimming, showering, perfume, and lotions, which can weaken the silk cord over time. Wipe the beads gently with a soft cloth and store it flat or hanging to protect the knotting.
