Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I spoke to a lama who was in Tibet. Seems the old folks say that the legends about beads falling from the sky are true. But these are very very rare indeed with very strong energy and are usually family heirlooms. You probably wouldn't be able to persuade them to sell for anything less than USD10k, and even then you will need to go through some locals. Most of those in the market today are replicas using agate. But some of them are already in temples for a long time and therefore have absorbed a certain amount of energy as well. I heard that there are specific combinations and arrangements that amplify power as well, just like our Indra mala. I am not sure about the specific combinations though. Of course there are those from Taiwan and China selling for less than USD2 each. These are just agate, nothing more nothing less, and if they use laser to etch, it may also be harmful to our energy field. narasimhaye <no_reply> wrote: I have no experience with dzi beads but heard they were supposed to have fallen from the skies (heaven) in natural form.

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.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thank you Warren and Narasimhaye for your comments. I appreciate being better informed. It does seem that the number of "eyes" etched on have a relation to the number of faces in the rudraksha beads......don't know if it was copied, or if it is lore going way back in time. So often the cultures have similarities like that. Best regards, Seline - Warren Lee 05/03/2006 7:57 PM Re: RBSC : dzi beads [seline] I spoke to a lama who was in Tibet.
