How to tell the authenticity of Dzi bead

There is no real or fake Dzi, just like the Christian cross, all crosses are real. But there are old (antique) Dzi and new Dzi.

---Antique Dzi are beads that are thousands of years old.

---New Dzi are beads made by contemporary Tibetan craftsmen, which began to appear around the 1980s and have a history of no more than 50 years.

Antique Dzi are generally collected by museums, wealthy families and antique collectors. They are rarely sold, and the price of these beads can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars depending on the age and condition of the beads.
For new Dzi, which is no more than 50 years old, the price varies greatly. You can buy it for a very low price or for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Here, the quality of craftsmanship, the material it is made of and the rarity of the patterns depicted on it play an important role.
Real ancient Dzi are too expensive for most Tibetans. Therefore, those who have not owned Dzi for generations can no longer afford it. Some new Dzi with a history of several decades have a high collection value, and in fact most of the Dzi in the hands of Tibetans are also such Dzi.

Dzi beads are traditionally made of agate, carnelian and chalcedony. Agate is considered the best gemstone for making most Dzi beads. For some Dzi beads, especially those that affect the improvement of relationships, carnelian works well. Chalcedony can also obtain good quality and energetic auspicious items.

Some beads are made of bone, glass or even plastic. It is best not to use such Dzi beads for serious matters. Their energy is weak or may even be completely absent, especially if the pattern on such beads is not drawn in the correct way. Such beads are more like jewelry than amulets, and although some beads are very beautiful and cheap, the energy value of such beads is very low, so please do not wear them.

What are the effects of Dzi bead?

If ancient Dzi beads were considered to have divine origin, then their healing powers are also obvious. But modern Dzi beads also have good energy that protects its owner, protects him from troubles and improves health. So why are these Dzi beads effective?
Apparently, there are several factors. The main factor is the special symbolic patterns painted on these beads. These symbols are a combination of a circle (eye) and other symbols: a square, a crescent, etc.
Each symbol has its own meaning and a certain power. Their combination creates a specific image with a certain power and ability to harmonize any specific area of ​​life with its energy. People who have Reiki know that in this system cosmic energy can be strengthened and with the help of special symbols, emotions can be harmonized. So in the case of Dzi beads - different symbolic patterns harmonize different areas of human life.
The materials from which these beads are made, the manufacturing technology and sophistication, and even the place where these Dzi beads are made are very important. High-quality beads made of natural gemstones (chalcedony, agate and carnelian) have good energy and will bring the greatest impact to their owners.
Such beads can even be recharged to enhance their effect. But if you are not buying new beads, but beads that have already been in the hands of another owner, then such beads must be cleansed of the energy of the previous owner. How to do this, you can read in another article.
