A Thousand-Year-Old Stone
of the Tibetan People
Dzi (pronounced "zee") are agate stones with naturally etched patterns, dating back 2,000–3,000 years. Tibetans believe Dzi stones are not made by human hands — they fell from the sky or were found on mountain slopes.
Dzi stone — a sacred spiritual artifact
The single-eye pattern represents the eye of the Buddha, bringing clear wisdom and protection from negative forces. The rarest of all Dzi types.
The most common type, bringing harmony in marriage and family life. Often given as a gift to newlyweds.
Nine eyes represent the full nine blessings: wealth, prosperity, longevity, joy, peace, wisdom, health, reputation and virtue.
