dzi agate

DZI agate (pronounced zee agate) is a type of agate that is carved, heated or dyed to create various patterns. These beads are meant to imitate ancient DZI beads that had great spiritual significance in Tibet, India and other Asian countries. It remains a mystery to this day how people in ancient times were able to produce these beads as the technology used to create the modern versions has only been available for the last few decades.
