This is a beautiful tassel featuring a round bead made of the crystal Obsidian and etched with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.
Om Mani Padme Hum is probably the most famous mantra in Buddhism, the six syllabled mantra of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin). The Dalai Lama is said to be an incarnation of Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara, so the mantra is especially revered by his devotees and it is commonly carved onto rocks and written on paper which is then inserted into prayer wheels to increase its effects.
Obsidian is a perfect crystal for you if your personal self-esteem and confidence needs a boost. Obsidian is a very protective stone and is excellent for blocking out and dissolving negative energies, thus protecting you against evil intentions. It is also effective at fighting stress and depression; promoting release of grievances and acceptance of the past.
This beautiful Om Mani Padme Hum Obsidian Crystal Ball Tassel will bring the blessings of the bodhisattva of compassion into your life.
