Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have no experience with dzi beads but heard they were supposed to have fallen from the skies (heaven) in natural form. This is a great contrast to what has been described as agate with man-made etchings. Maybe (assuming here), that genuine dzi beads are so rare that the closest and best thing the Tibetans could do, was to make them or at least, replicas of them using agate. Perhaps it remains a myth or legend when it comes to genuine dzi beads. Conjecture? Truly, I have no idea whether its yeh or neh. The only place or Museum that I can think of is for you to try the Smithsonian Institute. Pretty sure they have a website. Suggest you try Google search for Smithsonian Institute. , "SelinesMusic- Adelphia" <selinesmusic> wrote: > > Thank you for your comments on the dzi beads....I am the one who originally posted the question. I've learned that it is agate and the "eyes" are burned on. In reading through the meanings of the number of eyes, it is nearly identical to the meanings of the rudraksha faces. > > All is energy....perhaps of intent, but has anyone had any experience with these dzi beads?
