>>>All the DZI I sell receive a Purification and Awakening Ceremony by my friend and Mongolian Monk Jagdag. This Ritual is inspired by chinese "KAIGUANG" (開光). Kaiguang is the Chinese term for consecration of a statue of a deity. In Chinese, the literal meaning of Kaiguang is "opening of light". While it is often performed in the Buddhist and Taoist faiths. It is believed that if a statue dont go through KAIGUANG, it cannot be worshiped or used for performance, as the eyes are still "closed".

----------THOKCHA----------
>>> (Tibetan: ཐོག་ལྕགས, Wylie: thog lcags; also alternatively Tibetan: གནམ་ལྕགས, Wylie: gnam lcags) are tektites and meteorites which serve as amulets. Typically high in iron content, these are traditionally believed to contain a magical, protective power comparable to Tibetan dzi beads. Most Thokcha are made of a copper alloy.
>>> The use of meteoric iron has been common throughout the history of ferrous metallurgy. Historically, Thokcha were prized for the metallurgical fabrication of weapons, musical instruments, and sacred tools, such as the phurba. Thokcha are an auspicious addition in the metallurgical fabrication of sacred objects cast from Panchaloha (Sanskrit: पञ्चलोह), also called Pañcadhātu (Sanskrit: पञ्चधातु, lit. 'five metals'), is a term for traditional five-metal alloys of sacred significance. The composition is laid down in the Shilpa Shastras, a collection of ancient texts that describe arts, crafts, and their design rules, principles and standards.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
----------PANCHAHOLA----------
>>> Panchaloha is traditionally described as an alloy of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron. Also, in some cases tin or lead are used instead of zinc. It is believed that wearing jewellery made of such an alloy brings balance in life, self-confidence, good health, fortune, prosperity, and peace of mind.
>>> In Tibetan culture, it was considered auspicious to use Thokcha (meteoric iron) either as a component of the alloy in general or for a specific object or purpose. The amount used could vary, depending upon the material's availability and suitability, among other considerations. A small, largely symbolic quantity of "sky-iron" might be added, or it might be included as a significant part of the alloy-recipe.
>>> Writer Robert Beer regards meteoric iron as "the supreme substance for forging the physical representation of the vajra or other iron weapons." It was believed that these amulets had been tempered by the celestial gods before falling to earth. Beer describes the metal falling from space as a metaphor for "the indivisibility of form and emptiness.". Many meteorite fragments can be found in Tibet due to its high altitude and open landscape.
>>>Thokcha (amulets) are classified into two overlapping periods of origin:
1/ The pre-Buddhist period (c. 1000 BC – c. 900 AD)
2/ The Buddhist period (after 700 AD). Some of the earliest thokcha can be linked to the Tibetan Zhangzhung culture.
-----Types of Thokcha-----
>>> Thokcha are metal objects approximately 2–15 centimetres (0.79–5.91 in), originally made to function as horse harnesses, buckles, fibulae, and arrow heads. They can also be used as adornments for clothing, lighters and purses.
>>> Thokcha may represent real or mythological animals, often deities from Tibet's Bön or Buddhist religions. However, since several thokcha are abstract in form, the precise meaning of these pieces remains uncertain.
>>> Thogchags or Thokcha (Wylie: Thog lcags) are worn as amulets by Tibetans, specifically people of the Himalayan regions, for spiritual protection and healing. Created in several forms, they often depict tantric deities, sacred animals, auspicious symbols, and mantras. Many represent ritual supports such as a mirror, phurba, or vajra. Some pieces may be abstract in nature, and the meaning of the form has since been lost in antiquity.
>>> Genuine pieces are believed to be made from a combination of meteorite, iron, bronze, copper, and a number of other metals. The rarest and most sought after thokcha are believed to be made from a meteoric metal known as 'Namchak' which literally means 'sky iron' or 'sky metal.' Very old pieces can have a distinct patina and have been worn out into smooth surfaces after centuries of handling. Many ornaments have unique textures which are almost impossible to replicate.
-----POPULAR BELIEF-----
>>> The word Thokcha is composed of two words; thog that means above, primordial, first, or thunderbolt, and lcags that stands for iron or metal, so the literal meaning of thokcha is "original iron" or "thunderbolt iron."
>>> A popular Tibetan belief is that thokcha are produced magically when a thunderbolt strikes the earth. Historically, it was believed that if one was to find a thokcha underground by chance, they would work as a good luck charm.

-----VAJRA-----
>>> The Vajra, Sanskrit word (वज्र), meaning "diamond" and "thunderbolt", is an important symbol and a ritual instrument in Hinduism and especially in the Buddhist tradition vajrayāna ("way of the diamond") to which it gave its name.
>>> In Buddhism, the Vajra (Standard Tibetan: dorje) is the symbol of Vajrayana, one of the three major schools of Buddhism. Vajrayana is translated as "Thunderbolt Way" or "Diamond Way" and can imply the thunderbolt experience of Buddhist enlightenment or Bodhi. It also implies indestructibility, just as diamonds are harder than other gemstones.
>>> It represents the indestructibility and immutability that overcomes all obstacles. The name Dorje is also a male given name in Tibet and Bhutan, it becomes Dorj in Mongolia.
