Dzi is not only a very rare but it is considered a very precious gemstone, Dzi is also one of the seven treasures in Tibetan Buddhism. The main places of origin, where it come from, are Western Tibet, Eastern Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, Ladakh and certain regions in the Himalayas. Dzi has been around the world for 2000 to 2500 years. According to the legend brought down , Dzi is actually a "God’s treasure" which has been descended to the earth. This Dzi was then discovered by the Tibetans first. Hence till now , Tibetans still regard Dzi as the "Heavenly stone, God's Gift of Treasures!".

Stories on the origin of Dzi varies, one account has it that it flowed from a stream in Ngari; another believed that it was the treasure of the Azha Kingdom, Tibet; yet others thought it was one of the gemstones in the treasury of the Tagzig Kingdom. It is also said to be the celestial essence from Manjushri Bodhisattva's previous incarnate (Manjushri Buddha); some believed it was made by Asura; it is even said to be made from meteorites that plummeted down to earth. According to another legend, the compassionate Vajravarahi Buddha let Dzi descended to earth to stop the spreading of epidemic because it possessed the power to guard against evil. What can be verified is, although modern technology can replicate the appearance of Dzi, it is unable to reproduce the strong magnetic energy that Dzi possess. Neither can it replace the religious belief passed down over the generations. Hence, judging from its unique quality and extensive historical value, Dzi is very valuable.
