Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Namaste!!! Surya, I don't know what to think about them. They must not be rare because there are a number available. Are the a fossilized shank? Are they a shank-shapped stone? It doesn't say. In any case they cannot be used for bathing Deity because they are solid. What does anyone else know, please...Sri Amit and Pt Tata must be knowing about these...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 dear friends the link with pictures of heera shankh are genuine heera shankh. firstly all these heera shankh are dakshinavarti. secondly all these small dakshinavarti shankhs are fossilised and inside the shankh the entire wall is so crystallised that it looks like a wall of diamonds. am not aware of the technical scientific process but whatever fossilised layer is inside the conch, be it crystal or diamond, it shines and sparkles like diamond. however, the collector needs to chizzle the stone so as to get a look of the inner wall of the shankh which looks like a wall of diamonds and shines and sparkles like thousands of tiny diamonds studded in that wall. since the wall inside this dakshinavarti shankh looks like diamond studded, it is named heera shankh. these shankh are as rare as extinct. i have been making these heera shankh available as a remedy for planet venus and to invoke the grace of goddess of wealth laxmi as these are available only for few thousands of rupees. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun 9948892439 sacred-objects, "Richard Shaw-Brown" <rsbj66 wrote: > > Namaste!!!
