Recognize and Avoid Bogus Lakshmi Conch

 

THIS is the reality of Sacred Lakshmi Conch, so precious and dear to

Vishnu.

 

Now, in this Kali Yuga, bogus is taken as real. There is only one real

Lakshmi Shank, and that is Valampuri Turbinella Pyrum from Indian Seas.

This shell is sacred, very rare and valuable, costing hundreds of

thousands of Rupees. But certain dealers are selling another type of

shell, Lightning Whelk (busycon contrarium) from North America, a

common Whelk shell, and calling as a SHANK (Conch), as "Valampuri" or

"Dakshinvarti Lakshmi Shank". This is either ignorance of the truth OR

fraud. Either way the result is the same, i.e., getting a BOGUS

Valampuri. BUYER BEWARE!!! The list below is a partial list and will be

expanded.

 

NOTE: Genuine Lakshmi Shanks ONLY come from the Indian Ocean between

Burma, India and Sri Lanka. They are sold amongst knowledgeable

devotees for between Rs 3,000 t0 Rs 6,000 per gram. They are sold by

gram weight with price depending on quality. Average weight is 100

grams (about 6 inches). They MUST have 3-7 ridges in the conch cavity;

and beware of phoney ridges put onto Lightning Whelk shells using

plaster or epoxy. Rarity of genuine Lakshmi Shank is about 1/10,000

shanks

 

BTW: If one cannot afford the costly Valampuri right-side opening Shank

then they should use the normal Idampuri (left side opening) Shank. All

Shanks are the pure Vedic bone, but Lightning Whelk shells are not

pure, and should not be called “Lakshmi Conch”, which is fraud, and

they should not be used in puja in place of real sacred Shank

(Turbinella Conch), left OR right side opening. Lighting Whelk shells

are not sacred and are impure for Vishnu Upasana.
