Details: - all genuine, natural sandalwood, tiger eye and American turquoise beads* - 8mm size mala beads - 25x30mm tiger eye pendant - knotted on light blue cord *Our Guarantee: About our Turquoise: We only buy our American turquoise in person from reputable sources, either from the mine directly or from another turquoise vendor in particular who acquires directly from smaller North American turquoise mines. We guarantee the authenticity & quality of these fine turquoise gemstone beads. About Our Sandalwood: Sustainability is vital and we are sure not to use any illegally obtained sandalwood. Therefore, we choose to use natural Australian sandalwood to craft the beads in our malas. A small amount of genuine sandalwood essential oil is then added to enhance the scent. The essential oil will dissipate with use, so if you would like to keep the scent, you simply add more essential oil of your choice. If worn on the skin, the wood will absorb your natural oils and darken slightly with time.
