Tibetan dZi Beads for the fated person in life.

The dzi (zee) is a uniquely Tibetan stone, an agate of oblong or round shape pierced lengthways. It has a shiny black and white design, characterised by the strong eye pattern, circle and square or double wave.

Many jewels are worn for their medicinal properties. It is said that dzi protects its wearer from strokes and other sicknesses, as well as from evil influences. If, while it is being worn, the bead is in any way damaged or broken, it is taken as a sign that the bead has performed its task and absorbed the shock of the super-natural attack, though the dzi is then rendered useless for any further protection.

Tibetan dZi beads are felt by Tibetans to be of supernatural origins. It is inconceivable to most Tibetans queried told the same set of stories concerning the origin of dZi. Offered first was the belief that in ancient times dZi were the ornaments of semi-gods who threw them away whenever they became blemished even slightly; this is said to be the reason that hardly any of the beads are found in perfect condition. Next came the story involves a man who saw one of these 'insects' high in the mountains and threw his hat over it to capture it. When he removed the hat, the 'insect' had become petrified. In its place lay a dZi. Other stories relate that dZi were encountered in the high mountains by someone with especially good karma who managed to catch them. But in coming into contact with the human touch, the dZi petrified. Other tales are told of dZi being found in slaughtered animal horns or in cattle dung. Dr. R. Nebesky-Woikowitz (1952) recounts in 'Prehistoric Beads From Tibet,' a legend from Ngari, Western Tibet.

While there are different stories about tabular-eye beads, almost all groups associat them with protection against the evil eye (a common concern among most early cultures). These beads stir something very primitive and archetypal in all of us and even people who have never seen them before and have no idea of their value are attracted to them. Humans have always been fascinated with their own image and especially with beads that look back at them.

The type of tabular-eye bead is called Ninda Kar Sum, which is translated as 'sun, moon, and stars, the three.' This powerful symbol represents all the important celestial bodies: sun, moon, and stars and nothing catastrophic is supposed to be able to happen to a person wearing it.
