Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thank you Warren, for confirming what I'd learnt about genuine dzi beads. The ones that fell from the sky are a type of meteorite or moldavite (moldovite, not sure which spelling is correct). Agree that they are indeed highly rare and vibrate immense energy especially when preserved in monasteries and by noble families of old Tibet. Unfortunately, old Tibet no longer exist. What we see today are fakes or replicas. Sorry to be out of context here but "new" Tibet since China took over, have seen appalling changes such as karaoke nightclubs, dance clubs, bars, hotels, shopping strips and all sorts of establishments that can only bring maya and leela to influence the younger generation. Tourists galore these days with McDonalds, Kentucky Fried, you name it, they have it now. (Sad) Fortunately, visitors or tourists with high altitude sickness can't make it up most of the holy mountains and remote parts of Tibet where traditional culture is still preserved and ageless, whew! , Warren Lee <warrenlee99> wrote: > > 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.
