Ancient Artifact Phum Dzi Bead - Midnight Hue

• Among the most extraordinary beads in our collection, this Ancient Phum Dzi represents both history and spiritual power. Phum are believed to be the earliest form of Dzi, considered some of the most powerful and sacred beads because of their connection to the origins of Dzi culture.
• This bead was one of two we selected from a trusted husband-and-wife artisan team from Nepal who specialize in authentic Tibetan artifacts. We first met them at a gem show in Arizona and later reconnected when they came to Michigan to share a small, handpicked collection of true ancient beads with us. We chose only these two Ancient Phum Longevity Dzi for their exceptional quality, age, and presence.
• Owning a Phum Dzi is like holding a piece of living history — a bead that has endured thousands of years while continuing to carry its original blessing. For collectors and spiritual practitioners alike, it is both a rare treasure and a powerful tool for protection.

Each of the two beads has it's own unique character: this bead has a dark agate body featuring a light Longevity pattern, slightly translucent ends and a subtle cool-toned hue that gives the bead an almost bluish cast. Worn areas reveal the natural grain of the agate.

The Longevity motif symbolizes long life, health, and protection. Its message is timeless — a blessing for the owner to experience vitality and peace throughout life.

Estimated to be between 2,000-3,000 years old, this is a true artifact that has passed through generations and journeys across Asia. Each mark of wear and layers of surface texture are details that just can't be replicated in modern beads and are what make them so rare and meaningful today.

This bead is pictured on an adjustable sterling silver chain but can also be strung on vegan leather cord, or on a mala necklace or bracelet using materials seen on our website. Feel free to contact us about our options!
