Dig Mark On Dzi Beads –Medicinal Use
Posted by slang on August 21, 2007
In the below picture, do you notice that there is the dig/chip mark shown at the left hand corner of the old dzi?

This dig mark really is chipped off normally at the corner of the dzi bead for medicinal purpose. Incidentally, the use of Dzi bead as a medical ingredients in Tibet is well known. Note that if the chipping is not properly done, the dzi bead might break.
You should not see such chip/dig mark in new dzi beads.
