According to Buddhist tradition these old Sulemani Bhaisajaguru bicone banded agate beads remove the root of all disease, they will also ensure good health and a long and successful life.* * * * * *This type of Sulemani Bhaisajaguru banded agate beads were used by Buddhists in Afghanistan as Afghanistan was a predominant Buddhist culture up to the year 1000 AD. These beads were also a very prized possession of Surfi Muslim Faqirs who had taken a vow of poverty and worship. The Surfi Muslim Faqirs renounced all relations and possession's and were wandering Dervishes who taught Islam and lived on alms, they usually travelled between villages reciting scriptures and they performed various physical feats. The word Faqir is a Muslim or Hindu monk or holy man.* * * * * *This type of agate bead necklace is especially popular in Tibet and areas close by. Beads such as these were traded to be a "Part of the religious and cultural lives of the inhabitants of Ladakh, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan." * * * * * *Cracks made by a thousand cold winters.If an agate bead has been 'lucky' enough to 'sleep' for hundreds or thousands of years in areas where the temperature goes below zero during winter the moisture in the bead will make small circular cracks in the surface of the bead. This is due to the expansion of the water molecules when they turn into ice. This beautiful sign of age is only to be seen in beads from the Himalayas and Afghanistan and other places that have frost in the winter. Beads that have dwelled in areas with hotter climates will not display these marks of age. The appearance of these cracks will also depend on the hardness and porousness of the stone. A dense agate stone bead with less water inside will even survive the winters of the Himalayas without these cracks.* * * * * *Suleiman agates, or Solomon’s agates, are a highly revered bead throughout the Near East and Central Asia that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. While some say the name comes from the secret location they were originally mined from, which only King Solomon knew, others say that they were once plain, unpatterned agates that only developed bands after being in the possession of the famous King himself and his fabled wisdom. They were said to impart to the possessor that same knowledge and power, as well as the ability to control djinn (genies). For many Tibetans, they were known as Bhaisajyaguru beads, or Medicine Buddha beads. They were prized by families and passed from generation to generation for their ability to preserve health and heal illness, and even exercise power over death in some exceptional cases.
