Knowledge of ancient dzi Tibetan agate beads is derived from oral traditions and still remains an ancient mystery. There are so many variations of their creation story.

One story tells about Guru Padmasambhawa who once cast a tantric curse on some stones which transformed into Dzi beads and were thrown into different places all over Tibet. Another legend claims that the Dzi beads were treasures of the sea brought up by serpents. Many tend to believe this because Dzi beads are part of the agate family. Many agate pieces have been created through rock formations found nearby or in rivers all over the world.

Another belief suggests that Dzi beads are not the product of human craftsmanship; instead, they are thought to be insects that have undergone a profound transformation through contact with human energy. This idea, that Dzi beads are the result of nature’s alchemy, adds a layer of mysticism to their creation.

Another captivating myth involves the idea that Dzi beads are the sacred droppings of the mythical Garuda bird. The Garuda, a divine and legendary bird in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain mythology, is believed to possess extraordinary powers. The notion that Dzi beads have a celestial connection to such a revered creature heightens their perceived value and spiritual significance.
