Chung beads (or Chong Dzi) are ancient, often unetched or simply marked, banded agate beads originating from the Himalayan region, particularly Tibet. They are highly revered as sacred, protective talismans, often considered to be forerunners to or a distinct type of the more complex "etched" Dzi beads.

Dragon Skin Dzi beads are Tibetan agate talismans etched with specific patterns. The surface features raised or crackled textures resembling scales. These beads are heavily prized for their protective properties and capacity to amplify blessings—such as wealth, power, and courage—while warding off negative energy

Spiritually, jade is revered as a stone of harmony, serenity, and abundance. It is known as the ultimate "dream stone" and a protective talisman believed to attract good fortune, soothe the mind, and balance the spirit.
