Dakota Stones Denim Lapis Lazuli 12mm Guru Bead

You can create jewelry full of meaning with the Dakota Stones denim lapis lazuli 12mm guru bead. This rounded bead features a unique design with three stringing holes. Bring each end of your stringing material through the holes on the sides of the bead and then bring both ends down through the stringing hole at the bottom of the bead. The smaller tower bead holds both ends together once they are strung through. This bead is added to designs after the rest of your beads are strung, so you don't have to worry about adding a clasp.

It signifies the end of one round in the prayer circle. On a full-sized mala with 108 beads, the guru bead is the 109th bead. This gemstone guru bead features a mottled dark blue color with hints of grey and white. Metaphysical Properties: Lapis lazuli is said to enhance insight, intellect and awareness.
