Unfortunately Prana Heart went out of business last year, which is a bummer. Imo they had the most affordable and beautiful stretchy malas out there. So much so that I bought a few too many. :-) These beads and have wonderful luster and slight variation that is a bit difficult to photograph but that plays beautifully in the light. Can be worn as a necklace but also wraps nicely around the wrist. comes with original dust bag. a great gift for the discerning yogi or meditator in your life.
