More about Dzi
Dzi beads are said to do a variety of things. Some protect you from negative experiences or accidents, some attract wealth or wisdom, while others might bring you love and happiness. This particular bead is said to grant wishes.
Dzi beads originate primarily in Tibet, and can often command high prices and are difficult to come by. They are often found in the grasslands or while cultivating fields. Because dzi are found in the earth, Tibetans do not conceive of them as man-made. Tibetan Dzi beads are felt by Tibetans to be of supernatural origin.
Knowledge of the dzi beads is derived from oral traditions, and there is no one story concerning the origin of dzi. One belief is that in ancient times dZi were the ornaments of demi-gods who threw them away if they became blemished even slightly; the reason why hardly any of the beads are found in perfect condition. It is also believed that even after the beads have been unearthed, some will continue to move about for a little while.
Tibetans cherish these beads and consider them hereditary gems. In this way they have survived thousands of years, being worn by hundreds of individual people.
Few beads have provoked more controversy concerning their source, method of manufacture and even precise definition. They are the most sought after and collectable beads on earth.
