The Rudhruksh and Crystal Malas are made from 108 beads of alternating Crystal and large Rudhruksh seeds. The Rudhruksh seed is believed to have many healing properties and protect against negative energy. Crystal beads are placed in an alternating pattern, and are thought to enhance personal clarity. Mantras or chants can be recited while holding each bead individually, 108 times, as a meditative practice.
