The malas (strings) of these beads are NOT usually used for japa or mantra recitation; instead they are usually worn on the body for their relevant energies and aura. They may be worn around the neck, on the wrist (by wrapping a couple of times) or any other part as one may feel the need.

The belief on a metaphysical level and according to gem healing is that these stones absorb specific energies which then lie concentrated in them. When worn, these have an aura altering effect on a person. Consequently these beads bring about changes in personality and in fortune and future (at the astrological level).
