Can I buy real Tibetan Dzi beads when traveling to Tibet?

A month ago, I became very impressed with Tibetan Dzi Beads! Because a friend of mine who I have known for many years came back from traveling in Tibet and brought back a Dzi bead. Whether it's color or feel, it's really great, and it also has natural magnetism. A friend said that he bought it from an old Tibetan man for more than 30,000 yuan... He also said that Tibetan Dzi beads are not something you can buy if you want. Only those who are lucky enough to see them can have the opportunity to see them, let alone flowers. Money to buy it. I was confused at the time. Did I make a mistake? A Dzi bead costs so much money? As I am currently traveling in Tibet, in order to verify whether my friend’s words are exaggerated, I went to major jewelry and jade shops in Lhasa to do some shopping. I found that most of the market is flooded with fake products made of materials such as glass and resin. Don’t underestimate these imitation products. The prices are not cheap, ranging from more than ten yuan to more than hundreds of thousands of yuan! If you just have fun and spend a few dozen yuan to buy one as a decoration, it's not bad. But if you really think that you can buy a real Dzi bead by spending tens of thousands of yuan, you will regret it. I asked the tour guide and some local jade owners, and they said that the price of real Dzi beads is more than 100,000, but they are very rare! It is generally passed down from the ancestors of Tibetans, so it is a very precious symbol of status and honor for Tibetans. They will never be sold or given away easily, unless you are outstanding or have done something to make them extremely grateful to you. thing. In Tibet, dzi beads are also called dzi beads. Tibetans believe that Dzi beads are spiritual stones that fall from the sky and can symbolize their status, wealth and virtue. Therefore, only those who are noble and blessed with cultivation are worthy of owning Dzi beads. However, some people will question whether Dzi beads are really stones from heaven. After research, it is found that Dzi beads can be said to be semi-precious stones. They are mainly sedimentary rocks and contain a certain amount of agate and jade. The magnetism is due to the fact that meteorites on Mars fell and hit the original minerals of Dzi beads thousands of years ago, leaving behind the material elements of Mars. In this way, saying that Dzi beads are spiritual stones descended from heaven is also based on science.
