Few beads are surrounded by as much myth and mystery as the Dzi bead (say zee). The etched agates are found in Tibet, Bhutan, Ladakh, and Nepal, and are believed to be about two thousand years old. Many legends accompany the beads-

· That the bead itself will choose its owner and will not stay with an unlucky person.
Tibetan Dzi Beads and AgateDzi (pronounced "zee'') originated from Tibet and the Himalayan mountains. In Tibetan this word can simply be translated to bring good meanings of 'splendour', brightness and shine".
Dzi is a supernatural gemstone talisman that treasures magical powers. It comes in different shapes and sizes and are dark colored agate beads etched with a number of eyes, heavenly patterns and auspicious symbols. The Dzi is originated from the land of mythical Buddhist lamas Tibet and is endorsed by all to possess protective, enhancing, curative and healing powers. It often brings fantastic good fortune, prosperity, wealth and good health to the owner as well.
Wearing the powerful talismanic Dzi is believed to dissipate such negativities depending on their patterns and usage. New Dzi beads is said to be those that were etched recently. Since the material used for both the old and the new beads are agate, the difference between them lies in the timing the etchings were done.
Formed under the earth a long time ago, agate is one of nature's precious gifts to mankind and has been well accepted as a stone that radiate good energy. The price of Dzi beads is based mainly on its quality.
The size, the skin texture, the clarity of the etched lines and its overall appeal are among some factors to consider when buying a Dzi bead, be it an old or a new piece.
Dzi bead (pronounced zee) is a bead stone of mysterious origin worn as a necklace or sometimes bracelet. Collectively in almost all Asian cultures the bead is expected to provide positive spiritual benefit. They are generally prized as protective amulets.
Dzi stones may have decorated symbols composed of circles, ovals, square, waves (zig zags), stripes, lines, and diamonds, and Various other natural archetypal symbolic patterns. Colours will mainly range from brown to black with the pattern usually being in ivory white. The number of eyes on the stone usually signify different meanings. (Dzi have only circular designs).
Dzi stones may have made their first appearance between 2000 BC to 1000 BC, in ancient India. Fear of the "evil eye" was taken very seriously by these people, so they created talismans with eyes on them as a fight fire with fire form of protection.
While the origin surrounding Dzi beads is quite uncertain, it is socially accepted today that they are called Tibetan beads. They are found primarily in Tibet, but also in neighbouring Bhutan, Ladakh and Sikkim. Shepherds and farmers pick them up in the grasslands or while cultivating fields. Because Dzi are found in the earth, Tibetans cannot conceive of them as being man-made. Since knowledge of the bead is derived from oral traditions, few beads have provoked more controversy concerning their source, method of manufacture and even precise definition. In Tibetan culture they are believed to attract protector deities.
Due to the unknown origin and high demand of the beads, there has been unquestionable counterfeiting in Asia. Some are replicas having been created for decorative purposes, and are accepted by the general public. In Chinese culture, a necklace is believed to be genuine if it was obtained without monetary exchange, for example from a Temple. The other cultural requirement is that one should not request or bribe the bead.

The Mystical Tibetan Dzi Beads
All that is known is that these stone beads are covered with mystical patterns (eyes, strips) and are an important part of the Tibetan culture. To this day, Tibet and its culture are shrouded by mystique.
The meaning of the word Dzi corresponds to the meaning of the words "shine, brightness, and sharpness." People in this part of China have always attached great importance to jewelry – jewelry is used as a way to show the status of a person, as well as it has great religious significance. Even the poorest families keep some beads as amulets.
The present religion in Tibet is Buddhism; however, it is believed that the beads came at a time when there was another religion in Tibet – Bon. This follows from the strange drawings on the beads, which point to shamanism and witchcraft. It is difficult to say anything for sure about Dzi beads, as Tibetan culture prohibits any archaeological expedition on its soil. Scientists have been talking about these beads for years due to a lack of documented evidence. We only know that they were used as amulets to boost power.
Tibetans believe that Dzi are of supernatural origin. There are many different stories and legends surrounding them. Their appearance is linked to ancient times, when demigods wore them as jewelry. Whenever Dzi got damaged, it was discarded, as it would lose its powers once damaged.
There are several stories about Dzi beads being insects. These stories tell that these beads were insects that lived in the earth, but they would turn to stone when they came in contact with a human hand. One story tells about a man who saw this insect in the mountains, and threw his hat to catch it. When he took off his hat, the insect turned into stone. These "insects" were sometimes found in the excrement of cattle or in the horns of dead animals. The insect theory is often used to explain why they are often found together - forming a kind of a "nest". One legend states that even after the beads are dug out of the ground, they continue to move for some time.
Another legend states that they came out of a mountain. They flowed down this mountain's slopes in streams. One angry woman threw a glance at the mountain, and their flow froze.
There's also one modern story, which became a kind of "urban legend". It states that all of the passengers on a bus would have perished in a road accident, if one of them was not carrying a bead.
All these stories confirm the belief that Dzi are magical and can protect their owners from trouble and disease. Traditional Tibet medicine uses powder from the intact (not broken) beads in a mixture with other magical substances, for the treatment of epilepsy.
The beautiful mystical Dzi beads seem to carry a very strong energy. It is believed that they protect against all types of failures, and bring prosperity, wealth and health to their holders. They vary depending on the type of luck that you want to attract.
These beads are often used by feng shui practitioners in combination with other amulets.
