Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Dear Sir, Can you please tell me what will be the chemical formation of pearls like Gaj Mukta. Do they have Calcium Carbonate like natural pearls or they are made of something else. Actually Garuda Puranam and other books put it under the category of pearls. So are these organic objects pearls or they are something else ? There is yet another confusion. There are nonnucleated cultured pearls. Are these pearls identified as natural pearls in X-Rays tests. Or X-rays can confirm that they are non-nucleated but cultured ?. What is the identification basis. ( I am still at confusion) Best Regards A.J Terms of Service.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 There are two types of these asta moti. The fresh, and the petrified. The fresh are like a tumour, organic or calciam growth. When organic matter is buried for a long time (millions of years) it transforms into silica, with a touch of iron. So the real ones could NEVER be transparent. They would be like stones - like petrified wood.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Dear Richard Ji, Thank you very much. This means they are pearls but with different chemical formation. An information for you. I went in search of Manimala after i read that it is published by someone in Narobi. I was interested in reading. I discovered that original Pandulipis are still missing. There are some people in Jaipur who still posses some copies of this book. Infact one copy was literaly stolen from our office many years back. (I am still looking for it and i may get a Xerox of original publication) I also got the old Ratna Prakash. They have republished the book but i needed the first edition written by Shri.Rajroop Ji . By the way i was very happy to know that you knew him. It is a real pleasure to know that you both were associated in past.
