This bead is adorned with the Double Heaven & Earth Motif. The Heaven & Earth Motif is believed to bring the balance of Ying and Yang. It helps to gain fortune and eliminate obstacles. Businessmen are particularly fond of this motif because it brings prosperity and wealth.
This bead measures 49.1 mm x 11.7 mm. This bead is a vintage bead crafted in Taiwan in the 1980s.
The bead material is high quality natural agate. There are bloodspots on this bead, but not significant enough to warrant this bead as a bloodspot dzi bead.
This piece is in excellent condition. There are no cracks on this bead. As with all antique dzi beads, weathering marks and minor digs are all part of the beauty.
