Nine warm cream-tan eyes sit against it, each linked to the next by a stepped bar running the length of the bead. At both drill ends the stone changes character completely, becoming a warm, slightly translucent honey-orange — the agate's own colour opening up at the tips. It is a quiet but distinctive feature, visible from either end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bead is long and slender, 60.6mm × 12.9mm, with a gradual taper that gives it a more needle-like profile than the wider spindles often seen at this age. The lines are a warm cream-tan rather than stark white, gently mellowed with age.

It is linked with Dzambhala, the deity of wealth, and is regarded as one of the most auspicious dzi to wear or keep on an altar. At 300–500 years old, this bead dates from roughly the late Ming to the early Qing period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nine Eye (九眼天珠); cream-tan eyes with stepped connecting bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60.6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, slender fusiform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate, deep dark brown with natural honey-orange tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, estimated 300–500 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine age micro-pitting across the dark body; low-gloss body with glossier tips; no cracks or chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e At-082326-9E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/authentic-antique-dzi\"\u003eAntique Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou May Also Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-tibetan-dzi-bead-57mm-asymmetric-form-300-500-years-at-071126-9e8\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi, Asymmetric Form (At-071126-9E8)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-tibetan-dzi-bead-55mm-300-500-years-at-071126-9e7\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi (At-071126-9E7) (sold)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-tibetan-dzi-bead-54mm-300-500-years-at-071126-9e6\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi (At-071126-9E6)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/at-062926-9ebs-antique-nine-eye-dzi-bloodspots-77mm\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi with Bloodspots, 77mm (At-062926-9EBS)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/the-nine-eye-dzi-bead-symbolism-and-significance\"\u003eThe Nine Eye Dzi Bead: Symbolism and Significance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/why-nine-eye-dzi-is-king-of-all-dzi-beads\"\u003eWhy the Nine Eye Is King of All Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bead here is one of a kind.
