What do Tibetan beeswax, turquoise and coral mean?
Experienced collectors will find that ancient and modern Tibetan beads are mostly made of three semi-precious beads: beeswax, green stone and coral. In the eyes of Tibetans, these three semi-precious stones have special magical power to protect themselves, so they are not only worn daily, but also hung on the still waves of Buddha statues (Tibetan Buddhism) and used as sacred objects in religious ceremonies. They are primitive symbols, and the color of beads itself has different meanings. The primary colors of beeswax are mostly muddy yellow, representing soil or land, turquoise is blue (with emeralds), representing water and air in the sky, and coral is red, representing heart, blood, fire and light. Are all necessities of life. Tibetans wear these three kinds of beads every day, which can penetrate the heavens and the earth and contact the spiritual world. Beads represent the magic weapon of love and evil spirits, which makes people lucky. From 0/00 to 700 AD/KLOC, Hinduism and Buddhism spread to all parts of Central Asia with the expansion of trade routes. At that time, Tibet believed that the living environment around it was full of evil spirits that led to misfortune and disaster, which was not good for human beings and livestock. However, bringing a string of beeswax, turquoise and coral beads is enough to ward off evil spirits, save the day and make people and animals safe. Semi-precious beads, like agate beads inlaid with dzi beads, became their amulets.
