5 out of 5 starsBeautifully crafted and high quality and shipped quick with a lovely handwritten card and a thoughtful bundle of sage! I will definately be back to buy another! What I love most about this mala are the vibrant tigers eye that look like galaxies, nebulas and aurora borealis from every angle!!

5 out of 5 starsI was hoping it was a combination of astrophyllite and arfvedsonite but I THINK it's just astrophyllite? I've only really scrutinized it with a naked eye so I might be wrong. But I love both of those crystals so I'm going to be happy whether it's one or both. That would be my only complaint and I think I'm just nitpicking here tbh. Don't let that deter you. It's gorgeous. Very high quality. Worth every penny. I'm so happy to have it. And the shop carries so many gorgeous malas. I will absolutely buy here again.

5 out of 5 starsChocolate moonstone...faceted globes of light on my wrist. I love this bracelet! I had mistakenly ordered it too large and Michelle graciously offered to resize for me. It's wonderful and perfect! This will last me my lifetime, I'm sure.

5 out of 5 starsThis chocolate moonstone...wow! Faceted, sparkly, rich colors. Looks like the photo, but again, in person, I'm over the moon, with how this looks and feels! LOL! Rather exceeded my expectations. I mistakenly ordered it too large for my wrist and Michelle offered to re-size. I am glad I can fix this error and be able to wear this beautiful bracelet.

5 out of 5 starsThis bracelet is even prettier in person; and feels wonderful on my wrist. It's quite a calming, loving stone (pink lepidolite) and great for those days I need a little extra hug. The color tones are such that this goes with many other bracelets. Another beautiful, well crafted bracelet from Michelle!

About MudAndLotusMalas
Welcome to Mud and Lotus Malas! Meditation is the natural state of our bodies and our minds, and a path to clarity, stability and sanity in our world. It's a way to train our minds to not get caught up in, or distracted by, the constant internal chatter. When undertaken as a regular practice, it allows our minds to settle. And, perhaps most importantly, it is a means to enjoy the journey of life. I believe this practice can change the world, one person at a time, and my goal is to encourage more people to take up the art.
In growing through my own practice, I couldn’t find a mala that truly spoke to me. As a total gemstone, rock and mineral nerd, I decided to start making my own malas to use in my personal practice. I quickly found the process of making a mala a form of meditation in itself. From the meticulous choosing of each individual bead, to the hand knotting between each bead, I was hooked. And just like that, Mud and Lotus Malas was born.
A year ago, my family and I moved out of the city and bought a house in a lovely, quaint town north of Pittsburgh with more room to grow. A spare bedroom was transformed into a serene meditation and yoga space, and this is where I create my malas. Every part of the process is surrounded by calm and tranquility to channel positive energy and intention into every mala I make. (It’s one of my favorite places to be!)
When I’m not designing malas, I enjoy spending time with my family, both human and furry. I'm also a citizen lobbyist and animal advocate through Humane Action Pittsburgh. And whether I'm working in my garden or taking nature walks through the woods, I find peace and presence by connecting with the earth.
Thank you for visiting Mud and Lotus Malas. I look forward to helping you find the perfect mala for your journey!
