Frequently Asked Questions

What is a real Dzi stone?
A real Dzi is an ancient agate from the Himalayas that has been worn as a protective stone for centuries. In my years working with these stones, I have learned that what makes them special is the natural banding with its characteristic "eyes", which makes every stone unique. An authentic Dzi carries a lived history, not machine-made perfection.
How can I tell a real Dzi from a fake?
Look closely at the surface: a genuine, old Dzi shows fine signs of wear, small dents and a matte, living patina. Fakes often look too smooth, too shiny and have perfectly even patterns. My practical tip: the eyes of a real Dzi are never identical, so take the stone in your hand and feel its weight and temperature.
Where do Dzi stones come from?
The original Dzi stones come from the Himalayan region, above all from Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. There they are traditionally passed down from generation to generation. I source my stones with care and respect for this tradition, so that you hold a piece of genuine culture in your hands.
What materials is a mala made of?
A mala is traditionally made from natural materials: sandalwood, rudraksha seeds, bodhi seeds or gemstones such as agate, rock crystal and lava. Each material has its own character and effect. I choose the materials personally, because only genuine natural material truly feels right when you wear it and meditate.
Why does a mala have 108 beads?
The number 108 is considered sacred and complete in many Eastern traditions. While meditating it helps you count a full round of mantras without losing your place. For me, 108 is also a beautiful rhythm: it gives your practice both structure and calm.
Which mala is right for me?
It depends on your feeling and your goal: are you looking for grounding, protection or clarity? Let yourself be guided by the colour and material that speaks to you straight away; often your gut already knows the answer. Feel free to write to me and I will advise you from my own experience to help you find the right mala.
What do the "eyes" of a Dzi mean?
The number of eyes on a Dzi has its own meaning: one eye stands for clarity, two for harmony in partnership, three for luck and prosperity. Many of my customers deliberately choose a stone by the number of eyes. My advice: choose the eye that should accompany your current phase of life.
How do I care for my Dzi and mala?
Clean the stone gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals and perfume. A mala made of wood or seeds does not like moisture, so place it in a quiet, dry spot after wearing. I recommend letting the stone "breathe" in the sun or moonlight now and then, so it stays your faithful companion.
Can I wear my Dzi and mala every day?
Yes, and that is exactly what they are made for. The more often you wear your Dzi and mala, the more they become a part of you. From my own experience: I take them off briefly for sport, showering or sleeping, so the stone and the cord stay beautiful for a long time.
Why should I buy from you?
I only sell stones and malas that I have checked myself and would personally wear. Every Dzi is selected by hand, and I support you with real experience instead of empty promises. If you have questions you can reach me directly; I am happy to guide you in choosing your piece.
