description: 🏛️ Ancient Dzi Shop specialises in authentic ancient and antique Tibetan dzi beads. Every piece is sold with unretouched photographs and honest condition disclosure. The eye on this bead was never etched — it grew there, one layer at a time, over millions of years. The central zone of this agate barrel resolves, from one specific angle, into a composition that the stone made entirely by itself: concentric oval bands of cream-grey and warm beige converging on a warm brown oval at the centre, framed by a bright white outer ring where the banding meets the pitch-black ends. It reads as an eye — not because anyone drew it, but because the internal structure of this particular agate stone happens to produce exactly that concentric form when cut and polished through its natural banding axis.

The ends are pitch-black — deep, opaque, and consistent from drill hole to shoulder, confirmed across all white-background photographs. The central band is naturally banded agate in warm beige, cream, grey-beige, and warm brown — the layers fine and closely spaced through the outer rings, opening into a broader warm field at the centre.

At 54.4mm this is a substantial bead with good presence in the hand. The taper toward both ends is pronounced — more pointed than many naturally-formed barrels — and both drill ends are clean with no chips or cracks observed independently. The full-body gloss is consistent throughout both the…
