☛ PRAYER BEADS:
Buddhist prayer beads or malas (Sanskrit:  “garland”)are similar to other forms of prayer beads used in various world religions and therefore the term “Buddhist rosary” also appears.
Conventional Buddhist tradition counts the beads at 108, signifying the mortal desires of mankind. The number is attributed to the Mokugenji (soapberry seed) Sutra wherein Shakyamuni Buddha instructed King Virudhaka to make such beads and recite the Three Jewels of Buddhism. In later years, various Buddhist sects would either retain the number of beads, or divide them into consecutive twos, fours, for brevity or informality. A decorative tassel is sometimes attached to the beads, flanked by talismans or amulets depending on one’s local tradition. Because prayer beads are often painted in pigment, various traditional schools attribute a consecration ritual by the Sangha to the beads, to “open the eyes” for the purpose of achieving Enlightenment unique to the Karma of each believer.

☛ Malachite: Brief Introduction
Malachite stone is a mineral that is based on copper carbonate. Its first use was as an ore of copper and was mined purely as a metal source. The green color comes from the copper oxidizing in the air because the mineral forms close to the surface of the Earth.
It is generally found in caverns and caves where the mineral has formed into a stalactite or coated the ground’s surface. Occasionally, the malachite stone is found in crystal form and is actually translucent in color in this form. The more typical form of the mineral is opaque and needs to be buffed and polished into the commonly known stone.
