• Tibetan dZi Beads

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. The most valuable dzi were those with three or nine-eyes, the best being those with sharply contrasting patterns, shiny and with a faintly oily surface.

There are many interpretations concerning the dzi's origin. Since they are usually found buried in the ground, it is generally thought that they were made and worn by people in prehistoric or neolithic times. There are more

mystical interpretations, some being that the dzi were once worm-like insects which, when frightened, froze and turned to stone. Other stories relate how the dzi were once ornaments of the demi-gods who threw away when they became damaged, which accounts for why so few of the beads are in a perfect unblemished state. They were said to appear in miraculous ways, sometimes as presents from local deities to humans who had rendered them service and appearing out of rabbit holes or on bushes which bore them like fruit. The dzi is either worn as a single bead about the neck, mainly for its auspicious or medicinal value, or in a traditional necklace interspersed with coral, pearls, amber or turquoise, or even, if the owner is fortunate to have a collection of dzi, a whole necklace is made from the stones. Dzi are also used when applying gold to thankas or writing in gold, to burnish it and bring out the sheen...

There are three supposed methods of applying the jewel for medicinal purposes; allowing the patient to touch the gem and taking it orally as a powder mixed with other preparations.

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. Turqoise is often worn for physical well-being, to purify the blood and protect the liver. A change of colour in a turquoise is said to reflect the state of the wearer's health. It grows paler and greener as the owner sickens, and loses its colour and intensity entirely at their death. However it recovers its beauty and strength of colour entirely when given to a new owner. In much the same way, when given as a love token, its colour remains strong and bright as long as the lover's affection lasts.

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.

It is believed that dZi originated from a mountain near Rudok. In ancient times, they were said to flow down its slopes like streams. One day, however, a wicked woman ;cast the evil eye' on the mountain and the flow immediately stopped. And to this day, so the legend claims, the characteristic black and white stripes of the dZi are still seen where the dZi once issued. The 'insect' theory of the origin of dZi seems to be very widespread and is cited to explain various peculiarities. This, the Tibetan claim, is why sometimes a great number of dZi are found forming a kind of 'nest'. Some believe that even after the beads have been unearthed, some will continue to move about for a little while. In any case, to the Tibetan, the dZi is not man-made bead, but a precious jewel of supernatural origin.

Because it is magic, the dZi has the power to protect its wearer from catastrophe. Just as jadee is worn to forestall accidents and turquoise is worn to purify the blood and protect from jaundice, so is the dZi worn to ward off attacks by evil spirits which might cause sudden sickness and death. Not only are dZi worn in the traditional (Central Tibet) woman's necklace with read coral, pearls and a gold charm box studded with turquoise but also about the neck on a shot cord by both men and women (and usually faced on either side by a red coral). Women will generally have a few more coral and turquoise beads in this strand as well but the minimal prerequisite is the dZi to serve as protection to its wearer. If the bead should somehow become broken while it is being worn, this is taken as evidence that the bead has done its job and absorbed the shock of the supernatural attack intended for its wearer. This renders the dZi useless for any further amuletic protection. This is why any broken dZi is no longer pure. dZi bead are also used by Tibetan doctors as an ingredient in some of the pills they make to treat epilepsy. An unbroken dZi is made broken and part of it is ground up along with various herbs to make the pills.

Many stories circulate among the Tibetans concerning persons who have sold a valuable dZi only to fall ill or die sometime thereafter. This causes Tibetans to be very unwilling to sell dZi of high quality even for the high sums which one hears quoted in the market for the various types...
