Dzi stones are coveted beads from Tibet and the Himalayas that are revered as lucky charms and protective amulets. They are traditionally worn on a string or as part of ornate jewelry around the neck. Their name means "shine" and refers to their spiritual power. They are usually made of agate and are decorated with characteristic patterns such as eyes or lines. The origin of ancient dzi stones remains a mystery to this day and is shrouded in numerous legends. Modern dzi are often made in Taiwan.
