This high-quality Tibetan pure Dzi bead features a tortoise-and-longevity motif, known for its auspicious meanings of protection and long life. It offers a rich, oily feel throughout. The bead is fully white-felted (white core), with beautifully aged and appealing coloration. Completely opaque under strong light, it is hand-polished from naturally aged stock material, retaining an organic, freeform shape. The surface shows full bodied weather-worn markings and a thick, smooth patina. Dimensions: 12 mm × 19.3 mm.
