According to astrology, Sphatik is related to Venus and is used as a
substitute for diamond. Sphatik malas are essentially used as an
accessory and for healing purposes. The differently colored crystal
beads are used for creating exquisite malas in a rainbow of shades.
Sphatik creates an electrochemical balance in the body thereby removing
anxiety and calming an individual. Sphatik malas are also used as prayer/rosary beads and they cool the body and calm the mind. Sphatik rosaries are used to count mantras while worshiping goddesses like Lakshmi, Durga, Saraswati, etc. Wearing a crystal mala ensures an undisturbed deep sleep.
The Sphatik malas have differently sized Sphatik beads like 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm and 8 mm. The combination is usually 108 + 1. The Sphatik malas help in calming the mind, increasing concentration, cooling the body and leading a quiet life.
Sphatik malas are also made in combination with Rudraksha beads, Carnelian and Coral beads, semiprecious stones and beads, etc.
