Dragon skin Dzi beads are all very, very old as this particular ritual has not been done in hundreds of years.

Dragon Marks Dzi Bead: Rather than being a particular symbol on a Dzi bead, are a certain type of markings found on some Dzi beads.

These are known as dragon marks when they occur. The agate that refuses the color will almost always be a light gray/white in color. Dragon marks are said to occur when the dragon was digging for Dzi beads and accidentally clawed into a bead or two. Any Dzi bead marked by a dragon is said to have caught the eye of the dragon and was then dropped or discarded by the dragon because it was imperfect. Dragons hoard their riches, but always insist that the items of wealth it hoards are as perfect as possible. Being clawed by the dragon the bead is said to carry some of the energy of the dragon. A Dzi bead marked by a dragon is not the same as a “Dragon Dzi Bead” and does not allow the owner of the bead to be master to a dragon. Only a “Dragon Dzi Bead” itself can master a dragon.

I can share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
