These mala beads are very attractive and well made. It is true, each stone bead is different and very interesting to look at. I received them very quickly, they came well before the projected delivery date. One minor note, the crystal bead that came on the end of my mala beads is pink, and in the picture it is clear. Not a big deal, but worth noting I suppose. But these beads should definitely last me a long time and I look forward to using them.
