Shivas Third Eye On My Fingers



These are natural agate or Akeek ,,I bought them many years at Ajmer from Kapil Aggarwal , a great devotee of Kwajah Garib Nawaz and a jeweller from Jaipur , he would set up his gemstone stall at Sola Khamba and we became friends ,I bought almost every size of this natural eye stone ,, for  both my hands and made a huge heavy pendant of eyes too that because of the weight I wear  sometimes only ..

I did not meet Kapil this year , but he visits Mumbai and supplies gemstones the the dealers at Bhendi Bazar ..he has come home too .. he wanted to set up a stall in Mumbai but it did not materialize .

This stone in the shape of the eye is highly holistic both to Hindus and Muslims , its very difficult to get this in good shape and form.

I bought a huge Tibetan Turquoise after Kapil mediated with another gemstone dealer to give it to me at a fair price .

I also got a Topaz colored Quartz 3800 carat its like a huge weight round my neck , it was on a silver chain , most of my silver jewelry I had to sell when bad times hit me a few years back..but I still have a very rare exotic collection of Sufi chunky jewelry.. each with a back story.

My wife miraculously goes to Karbala and Iran for Ashura Moharam  every year but till date I never asked her to get me a gemstone ,,
