Tibetan Agate, also known as Dzi beads, is a type of agate bead that is often carved and decorated with patterns and designs. These beautiful Tibetan Agate beads are crowned with antique-silver metal bead caps which have been treated with a protective coating to help prolong their shiny finish. The beautiful brown stones have a band of gray around the center. Due to the inherent nature of gemstones, each stone is singular in both color and shading.

Tibetan Agate is believed to have originated in the Indus Valley between 2000 and 1000 B.C. No records exist about the process of creating Dzi beads, and it is likely the process depended on oral teachings. Modern Tibetan Dzi beads are created using methods such as sanding, laser etching, and color enhancement. The patterns, textures and colors are permanent. The base stone, agate, is a variety of chalcedony quartz.
