AANSSS6, 8,10,12mm Knotted Rudraksha 108+1 Beads Mala/Necklace/Japa, Meditation Mala/Hand Knotted Prayer Beads Energized Chakra Mala

I order so many so often. I keep them as gifts for my yoga and massage clients. I usually “soak” for an hour, dry and then repackage because the brightness of the color worries me. I have no proof anecdotally that they transfer or loose color but I just like to make sure they are handled and get a little energy before gifting.

Love the item. It is as expected. Nice finishing and color.

They were coated with some orange powder or chemicals I soaked them in hot water and castille soap with orange essential oil they actually have a more natural look now make sure you wash them before you use them!

I've ordered plenty of malas from other vendors in the past. The first one came in a bag, labeled 10mm, but they were clearly 6mm. I figured it was a mistake and returned it. The replacement came the same wayTo make matters worse, these malas are the sort that will stain your clothes. I've heard that some rudraksha malas are coated in turmeric during the blessing. But whatever the case, unless you want orange skin and clothes, you don't want to wear thisIMO, better to just get your mala elsewhere

the size is perfect but poorly packaged, no indication of where this is coming from or instructions of mala beads need to be activated and cared for. The beads stained my skin and clothing when I wore them.

While they may look like the actual bead they feel off. It feels almost plastic. I wish someone from Amazon would let me know if they are. I'd hold off on buying them or go to a reputable mala dealer. Very sad.

Seemingly dyed and this coloring comes off on you. Recommendation to the manufacturer would include not dying the beads or washing them thoroughly.

the bears i ordered don't have the metal decoration
