Angular, four-pointed, its corners sharp rather than curved, the diamond eye is documented across the earliest strata of Tibetan dzi production as the precursor form from which the circular eye later developed. This bead carries three of them. They are etched in deep dark brown into a ground that is itself unlike anything else in this collection: a warm terracotta-red agate, closer in tone to carnelian than to the chocolate-brown or pitch-black fields of the other antique beads. The dark diamond motifs read as figures pressed into a warm reddish field — the contrast is quieter than cream-on-black, more internal, more ancient in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach diamond eye is a composition in itself: a dark brown outer diamond frame, a warm cream inner field, a dark brown inner diamond — three nested angular forms, the whole unit reading as a pointed eye with geometric precision. On Face A, one diamond eye is centred and framed, flanked on each side by the tiger tooth motif — crossing diagonal stripe elements that form X-patterns against the warm ground, the tooth and the eye sharing the face in the same alternating logic documented in the Four Eye \u0026amp; Tiger Tooth bead At-082525-4ETT elsewhere in this collection. On Face B, two diamond eye forms appear — smaller, more compressed, but both fully resolved with the same outer-inner diamond structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe bloodspots on this bead are documented at macro scale in Images 4, 5, and 6. They appear as rust-orange and warm brown cinnabar micro-dots scattered across both the dark zones and the cream fields of the diamond eye interiors — a genuinely distributed bloodspot field rather than localised surface marks. Cinnabar (硃砂\/zhūshā) — mercuric sulfide formed geologically within the agate during its original crystallisation — appears here in both its darker rust-brown expression and as fine orange scatter in the lighter zones. The agate surface micro-texture visible in the macro images confirms genuine age: fine pitting throughout, not the smooth surface of reproduction work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe end caps are the most immediately striking physical feature of this bead. Both are a vivid terracotta-red agate — visible clearly in Images 2 and 3 — with bright orange-red drill holes that carry the cinnabar colour of the agate itself into the hole. No other bead in this collection has end caps of this tone. They confirm that the warm reddish ground of the body is the agate's natural colour throughout, not a surface treatment, and that the entire stone — body, caps, and drill channel — is the same warm iron-rich material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 27.5mm × 13.0mm this bead has an extreme width-to-length ratio — approaching disc proportions, wider relative to its length than almost any other bead in the collection. It sits differently in the hand from a torpedo — rounder, more immediate, the motif occupying a proportionally wider field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Three Diamond Eye Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the same triad of intentions as the Three Eye — happiness, success, and longevity (福祿壽 \/ fú lù shòu) — but in an older symbolic language, the angular diamond form predating the circular eye in dzi history. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Tiger Tooth Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e adds strength and courage. This bead carries both simultaneously: the ancient happiness-triad in diamond form, and the force of forward movement on the same faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three Diamond Eye (三鑽眼天珠) \u0026amp;
