Large Dark True Agate 9 Eye Dzi Bead tingsha I bought many naga shellI found a few dazzling dzi beads on my last trip to Nepal, slowly but surely I am getting phots of them online :) 58mm by 13 mm bead makes it a very large 9 eye dzi bead and is a true agate. I always look for dzi beads with character, and this bead has small occlusions and irregularities that make it special. Amazing banding under the doped dzi design.
