Do the kamis wear malas?

[SilverFoxKnows]

And if so, what kind? I've been wearing a rudraksha seed mala but I'm looking for something with a more gentle energy. I remember seeing bags offered as a one time only deal. Is there any chance of seeing prayer beads as a one time only deal? Or would that be possible to special order?

If a special order is not practical, there's an outfit on eBay called Windhorse Imports that carries a lot of Buddhist spiritual items from Tibet and Nepal. May be worth taking a look. I discovered them awhile back while searching for khukuris. Their khukuris appear to be overpriced tourist fare.

Kamis don't wear malas on a regular basis but might from time to time and sometimes for special occasions.

Here's another good place with a lot of stuff:

I haven't used either of these, so caveat emptor.

I've bought from Snowlion and they are on the up and up.

Speaking of malas, does anyone know about the significance of mala beads carved in the form of skulls? Is it a memento mori? I have a set that looks fairly old with more detailed carving than I have seen on most skull beads.
