New Pair of Round Tiger Tooth Dzi Beads with Extreme Bloodspots
This pair of beads is adorned with the Tiger Tooth Motif. The Tiger Tooth Motif is believed to bring strength and courage.
This pair of beads measures 21.9 mm x 17.2 mm and 20.7 mm x 17.2 mm. They are new beads crafted within the last 20 years.
The bead material is high quality natural agate.
This pair is in excellent condition. There are no cracks on the beads. As with all antique dzi beads, weathering marks and minor digs are all part of the beauty.
Bloodspot (Cinnabar Dot) info:
Cinnabar dots are also known as "bloodspots" or "硃砂" in Chinese. They occur when mercury and sulfur are present when the agate was formed. Mercuric sulfide (or cinnabar) is obtained when mercury reacts with sulfur. In its purest form, the color is a deep red. In fact, it is how vermilion pigment is made. However, it is difficult and rare to find it in its purest form in agate. The purest form, used to make vermillion, is usually obtained in labs where conditions can be controlled. In nature, there is usually other material present thus giving it slight variations in its redness.
