AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent Dzi Vital Energy Account

To wear as a pendant or as a great protective talisman.

It is believed, according to a well-known archaeologist, that this piece could be over 500 years old from the Ming Dynasty. (Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this statement due to the high appraisal value of the item.) Judge for yourself the horse-shoe marks and the magnificent patina that can only be achieved over the passing of years.

The Dzi account with a spiral pattern holds profound symbolism within Tibetan and Buddhist tradition, as the spiral is a universal motif linked to growth, vital energy, and the continuous movement of the cosmos. Its meaning can be broken down into several aspects:

Spiritual evolution and wisdom: the spiral represents the path toward inner awakening, progressing from the external and material to the internal and transcendent.
Protection and energy flow: it is believed to help maintain a constant energy flow, protecting against blockages and promoting the harmonious circulation of vital energy.

Renewal and transformation: as in nature, where the spiral appears in shells, galaxies, and whirlpools, this bead symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Connection with the divine: in Tibetan tradition, the spiral can be interpreted as the union between the earthly and the celestial, a guide towards the expansion of consciousness.
Therefore, a Dzi with a spiral is usually considered an amulet of spiritual development, protection against negative energies, and a facilitator of personal growth and inner wisdom.

Certified shipping and carefully packaged with the tracking number.
