Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hello Every one, Thanks for starting a wonderful forum like this and I hope some one can answer my questions. Firstly I had come across a nagamani when I was in college about 10 years back and absoloutely a pauper :-) I had seen it in a garage office behind the JAS hotel located at vile parle east on highway no. 8. It was said that it was found by a tribal in Thane and not knowing what to do with it was handed over to a muslim alim. His wife supposedly touched it and it lost its power as some spirit occupied it. I too found the story a bit far fetched but interestingly the owner of the same would put the stone in his had and clench it in a fist and say some mantra and you could observe that the color changed from a darkish brown to creamish brown. Thanks to lord shani that by wearing a synthetic sapphire which i bought for Rs. 125 (if i had money to buy a genuine one i wouldnt have worn it) my life in the past 24 months has drastically improved and i have begun my pursuites of finding a nagamani. Does any one on this post have one? Can somebody post a picture of the same? Plus how to identify a genuine nagamani. Any sources? I have heard they are available at affordable prices if you contact a right adivasi source. Its reddish and some what resembles amber. Since this is beyond science, I would rely on the information passed on by word of mouth. Looking forward to your guidance, Regards, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Here is a link to a picture of a Naga Mani http://www.p-g-a.org/naga-mani.html or visit Richard Shaw-Brown Museum http://www.sacred-gemology.info/ You can identify that it's genuine because it glows in the dark. I am also interested in purchasing a Naga Mani. It is my understanding that peasant snake hunters can identify which cobra is carrying it and can capture them and that they are willing to do this at a cheap price as they are not aware of its value. Richard are you able to sell them through your store? http://www.agt-gems.com/ sacred-objects, "jaymunshi" <jaymunshi wrote: > > Hello Every one, > Thanks for starting a wonderful forum like this and I hope some one > can answer my questions. > > Firstly I had come across a nagamani when I was in college about 10 > years back and absoloutely a pauper :-) > > I had seen it in a garage office behind the JAS hotel located at > vile parle east on highway no. 8.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hello All, Namaste!!! I saw a real cobra nagamani. They MUST glow in the dark and be like a "polished sword blade". The one I saw was owned by a rich man in Sri Lanka (a Muslim) and not for sale. It might be possible to get non-cobra naga-mani, from other snakes, but the only test for those is a gem test that cannot disprove it. And they don't shine, opaque. The real question is WHY??? Why would anyone SELL a Naga Mani? And WHY would anyone use a bogus synthetic stone but want a REAL, natural Nagamani? If someone really likes synthetic stones then why not get a synthetic naga mani?? I know where you can get a "glass" naga mani... cheap too.
