Vintage Chung Dzi Agate Bead Rondelles 9mm and runs from topThis vintage authentic Chung Dzi bead has black and white striped banding. Handmade about 50 years ago, this is a replica of an ancient chung dzi bead, a Himalayan sacred protective bead. These have applied banding through a complex process and are very collectible. This tapered bead measures 12mm diameter x 52mm long with a nice 2mm hole for thicker cord. With some translucence, very smooth to the touch, a superior copy of an ancient bead. Beautiful
