Muladhara - Root Chakra Stones

Root chakra beads in the red and black of the first chakra: red garnet, black tourmaline, hematite, black onyx, bloodstone, carnelian, ruby, obsidian and petrified wood, by the strand. In yogic tradition the root chakra, Muladhara, sits at the base of the spine, its color is red and its seed sound is LAM, and in metaphysical belief it is associated with grounding, security and a sense of being at home in the body. The stones gathered here are the ones placed with it in that tradition, mostly deep reds and solid blacks with a few earthy browns, in smooth, matte and faceted finishes and in every size from 4mm to 12mm, so they suit a knotted mala, a stacked bracelet or a single strand. The groupings follow The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian and describe traditional associations, not physical effects.
