Chung Dzi beads are characterized by striped or banded patterns that often form naturally within the agate. They are traditionally believed to provide stability, grounding energy, spiritual benefit, and protection to the wearer, making them a popular choice among Tibetan monks and practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism. They are most often worn as protective amulets and are sometimes ground into a powder for use in traditional Tibetan medicine. The artisans who make the Dzi embellish the lines and shapes of the beads using ancient methods such as darkening with plant sugar and heat, bleaching and etching white lines with natron, and protecting certain areas with fat, clay, wax, or a similar substance.

The Seven-Stripe Dzi bead are associated with spiritual insight, success, and power. The number seven holds deep significance in Buddhism, representing the Seven Factors of Enlightenment: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. A seven-striped Dzi is believed to bring balance and guidance, helping the wearer achieve personal and professional success while maintaining inner harmony. In addition, this pattern is thought to correspond to the Seven Treasures of Buddhism: faith, discipline, generosity, wisdom, morality, patience, and knowledge.

The Seventeen-Stripe Dzi bead is a rare and powerful talisman, symbolizing spiritual ascension, wisdom, and transformation. The number seventeen is associated with higher consciousness, deep insight, and the pursuit of enlightenment.
