{"product_id":"turquoise-108-bead-mala-bracelet","title":"Turquoise 108-Bead Mala Bracelet — Natural Stone Prayer Beads in Green \u0026 Blue Turquoise","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurquoise is one of the oldest gemstones in continuous use — found in Egyptian tombs, traded along the Silk Road, carved into Tibetan ceremonial objects, and worn by Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. The common thread across cultures is not just aesthetics. Turquoise was treated as something that mattered — passed between people, kept close. The Tibetan word for it, གཡུ (yu), appears throughout religious texts and ritual objects. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, turquoise is long associated with protection and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGreen Turquoise and Blue Turquoise — What the Difference Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth colors come from the same mineral — copper aluminum phosphate — but the ratio of iron to copper shifts the hue. More copper gives you blue. More iron pushes it toward green. Green turquoise tends toward earthier tones; blue turquoise runs cleaner and brighter. Some variants in this bracelet mix blue turquoise with red accent beads (红松配珠), which creates a warm contrast. Both are natural stone — color and surface matrix vary between pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBead Size and How These Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6mm and 8mm, the bracelet wraps close and reads like standard bead jewelry on the wrist. The 10mm beads are more substantial — noticeable during wear. At 12mm and 14mm, these cross into necklace territory in feel and scale; the listing notes the larger sizes as suitable for wear as a necklace or crossbody strap (项链斜挎). The 14mm size is described as ceremonial-scale (主法专用), used by practitioners who lead group recitation and need beads large enough to handle while others follow. At any size, the full 108-bead count stays intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurquoise is porous — keep it away from water, perfume, and sweat. Prolonged exposure will affect the surface color over time. Wipe with a soft dry cloth only. Remove before swimming or bathing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buddha Tibet","offers":[{"title":"Green Turquoise Round 8mm × 108","offer_id":49432553029770,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Turquoise 6mm × 108 with Red Accent Beads","offer_id":49432553062538,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Turquoise Round 8mm × 108","offer_id":49432553095306,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise Single-Circle 12mm (~17 beads)","offer_id":49432553128074,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise Round 10mm × 108","offer_id":49432553160842,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise Large Round 12mm × 108 (Necklace\/Crossbody)","offer_id":49432553193610,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Turquoise 10mm × 108 with Red Accent Beads","offer_id":49432553226378,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise 10mm × 108 Plain","offer_id":49432553259146,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise 8mm × 108 Plain","offer_id":49432553291914,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Turquoise Ceremonial 14mm × 108","offer_id":49432553324682,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5268\/2634\/files\/O1CN017GAs931vabwKDByWN-2214826189-0-cib-_1.jpg?v=1779425445","url":"https:\/\/www.buddhatibet.com\/es\/products\/turquoise-108-bead-mala-bracelet","provider":"Buddha Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
