Inspired by traditional Buddhist and Hindu prayer beads (malas), Susan Tyler created her business "essentia."  She handcrafts each piece to bind the numinous forces of Earth to the life force of the person wearing her work.  With their unique healing properties, "essentia" adornments are a gift from Earth to awaken and set your inner esssence free.  

Black Lolite Vision Mala:

Pyrite (pendant) is sometimes called "fools gold" and stimulates the intellect.  This Mala helps recall beautiful memories of love and friendship.  Sandalwood attracts positive energy.
