{"product_id":"new-bow-shaped-natural-banded-agate-dzi-red-stripe-n-n-062126-bow5","title":"New Bow Shaped Natural Banded Agate Dzi Bead (Nat-B-13)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWe never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis bead carries no etched motif and makes no symbolic claim — what you're looking at is the shape and banding the agate arrived with, nothing added, nothing drawn on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is the fifth bow-shaped piece in our natural banded agate line, and the second to share the vivid red-orange ground first introduced with N-N-062126-BOW4. The two reds aren't identical, though: where BOW4 carries nested, layered chevron peaks, this piece presents simple parallel vertical stripes in white and orange — a banding rhythm much closer to our original brown-toned N-N-062126-BOW, just rendered here in red rather than brown. It's a useful reminder that colour and pattern vary independently across this family; no two pieces share both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe body colour runs a consistent vivid red-orange to brick-red, with the same glossier surface sheen seen on BOW4, distinct from the matte texture of the three brown-toned pieces. A small tan-grey triangular surface mark is visible near the base of the curve, appearing consistently across two of the photographs in this set — we're naming it directly as a natural surface detail rather than letting it go undisclosed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBoth ends hold the same vivid red-orange tone as the body, with the parallel stripe banding wrapping cleanly toward each tip. One drill opening shows a warm orange-toned interior. Both openings are otherwise clean and consistent with the bead's curved form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is a category appreciated specifically for its natural beauty rather than any applied symbolism — no eye, no stripe-as-meaning, no etched motif of any kind. What you're paying for is the rarity of the shape and the banding the stone formed on its own, and this piece sits at an interesting crossing point in the family: the colour of one sibling, the pattern rhythm of another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis bead is new, crafted within the last twenty years, from genuine natural banded agate. We're stating that plainly: this is not an antique or ancient piece, and its value comes from the natural formation and distinctive bow shape, not from age.\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\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Block\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — naturally banded agate, no applied or symbolic motif; simple parallel stripe banding \u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54.1mm \u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.2mm \u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bow \/ crescent shape — curved rather than straight, distinct from standard barrel forms \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural banded agate; vivid red-orange to brick-red body, second red-toned piece in this family; white and orange parallel stripe banding; glossier surface, consistent with BOW4 rather than the matte brown-toned pieces \u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, crafted within the last 20 years \u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cracks visible; one small tan-grey triangular surface mark near the base of the curve, visible across two photographs; both drill openings otherwise clean, one showing a warm orange-toned interior \u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None \u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e N-N-062126-BOW5 \u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/new-dzi-beads\"\u003eNew Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/natural-banded-agate\"\u003eNatural Banded Agate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for the genuine article?\u003c\/strong\u003e For naturally-formed motif pieces with documented age, see \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-dzi-bead-featuring-naturally-formed-one-eye-motif-013126\"\u003eAt-N-013126-1E\u003c\/a\u003e (antique, naturally formed One Eye, confirmed bloodspots).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIts companion pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e This bead joins \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-bow-shaped-natural-banded-agate-dzi-bead-nat-b-6\"\u003eN-N-062126-BOW\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-bow-shaped-natural-banded-agate-dzi-bead-nat-b-9\"\u003eN-N-062126-BOW2\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-bow-shaped-natural-banded-agate-dzi-bead-nat-b-10\"\u003eN-N-062126-BOW3\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-bow-shaped-natural-banded-agate-dzi-bead-nat-b-12\"\u003eN-N-062126-BOW4\u003c\/a\u003e as the fifth piece in our bow-shaped natural agate family.
