There are three types of Meng Eyeing Gemstones, two types belong to natural, inartificial.
Now let us talk about the raw stones of Meng Eyeing Gemstones, that is, the origin of the gemstones. One is from the desert of Inner Mongolia and People's Republic of Mongolia, herdsmen pick up them during the period of looking for grazing grounds, then sell to jewelers who will choose good ones for jewelry. This kind of Meng Eyeing Gemstones are in different shapes, some look like ball shapes, need not being polished, just cleaning them up. The major color is green, so herdsmen also call it “Green eyed Stone”; the following pictures can give you some ideas:
The other is from a mine of Inner Mongolia in China. About one hundred millions of years ago when volcanoes erupted, magma splashed on the ground, after being cooled, all kinds of beautiful Meng Eyeing Gemstones was gradually formed, which should be a long and complicated process. There is also another explanation: meteorite hitting agate mine. So far only one Meng Eyeing Gemstone mine has been found in 2010 or so, and very small, it is a corridor less than 1 kilometers long, and only located between four meters and 10 meters under ground. That is also why Meng Eyeing Gemstones are so rare, maybe it's the rarest gemstone on the earth. Generally they have a outside layer, after being polished, they are ball shape or long barrel shape; And some gemstones didn’t form eye-like images, but interesting vivid images, good pictorial gemstones are also very expensive.
The third type of Meng Eyeing Gemstone is not natural, it’s artificial. More than thousands of years, a kind of natural Meng Eyeing Gemstone was found in Tibet, but at that time, local people liked grinding them for making medicine; it’s recorded that this kind of disappeared Meng Eyeing Gemstone could be used for cardiovascular diseases. Then it was run out more than 1500 years ago. In memory of it, local people began to paint eye-like images on some small stones, then fired them with a special technique which has been lost, they called this kind of artificial Meng Eyeing Gemstone “Eyed Dzi Beads”, meaning “good luck”.
Even you don’t own a Meng Eyeing Gemstone, you know it at least. Now most people don't know what it is, but one day it'll become the most expensive gemstone in the world due to its Rarity.
