My mala broke and I have to restring it and I have a moonstone bracelet that broke a while back and I have always thought moonstone was the one thing missing from the mala. Everything happens for a reason right. I know that there are several different styles of malas, Zen, Tibetan etc. and that the number of beads plays a role too, the mala currently has black obsidian, labadorite, amethyst, citrine and a quartz pendant. I deeply wish to stay connected to my guides, if anyone could weight in on spiritual connection with guides or mala for spiritual connection, I would be forever grateful.

I restrung the mala

The beads could not accommodate two strands of cord to allow knotting between, so unfortunately the mala no longer is knotted like it was before. The mala now still has the obsidian, labadorite, and citrine but I added moonstone, (but 2 of the moonstone are pendants and not beads). So to keep the bead count at (or around) 108 I took off the amethyst but I had also added three extra citrine beads to total 21 citrine and didn’t think to subtract 3 from the 48 obsidian. So now I have 21 moonstone, 21 labadorite, 21 citrine, and 48 obsidian to total 111 mala stones which isn’t the traditional mala number of 108, what does that mean though, is that bad? Side note the main pendant is a hexagon clear quartz.

Health, Healing, and Happiness :)
