      "These pearls are also referred to as ‘Sarira’, a Sanskrit term meaning body waste or decay, reiterating that these pearls are those found after cremation of the human spiritual being. "
      Because they ARE turds, apparently. Godlike power turds.

    From the web site

    Q. Where do Mustika Pearls & Bezoar stones come from?
    A. Most of our Mustika Pearls & Bezoar stones come from Indonesia. They are found only in places where nature is undisturbed, and the elemental and spiritual energy is very high. They are obtained by highly trained and spiritually developed Pawangs (Shaman) working in close cooperation with nature.

    Q. How are the stones obtained?
    A. Obtaining a Mustika Pearl & bezoar stone is an intense and highly complicated magical operation that can only be performed by advanced Shamans. When they are seeking pearls and stones, the Pawang or Shaman live in the jungle and perform magical rituals to open up communication with the elemental and mystical realms. They are then guided to where the stone or pearl can be found which is inside the body of a plant or animal. The journey to obtain these items is often fraught with danger.

    and then from wiki

    A bezoar or enterolith is a sort of calculus or concretion, a stone found in the intestines of mostly ruminant animals, but occurring among others including humans. There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic.
    Bezoars were formerly sought after because they were believed to have the power of a universal antidote against any poison. It was believed that a drinking glass which contained a bezoar set within would neutralize any poison poured into the glass. The word "bezoar" ultimately comes from the Persian pâdzahr (پادزهر), which literally means "protection from poison." In fact, some types of trichobezoar are apparently able to precipitate or bind arsenic compounds (long used as poison) from a solution.[citation needed]

    In 1575, the surgeon Ambroise Paré described an experiment to test the properties of the Bezoar Stone. At the time, the Bezoar stone was deemed to be able to cure the effects of any poison, but Paré believed this was impossible. It happened that a cook at Paré's court was caught stealing fine silver cutlery. In his shame, the cook agreed to be poisoned. He then used the Bezoar stone to no great avail as he died in agony seven hours later.[1] Paré had proved that the Bezoar stone could not cure all poisons as was commonly believed at the time.

    A famous case in the common law of England (Chandelor v. Lopus, 79 Eng Rep. 3, Cro. Jac. 4, Eng. Ct. Exch. 1603) announced the rule of caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware" if the goods he purchased are in fact genuine and effective. The case concerned a purchaser who sued for the return of the purchase price of an allegedly fraudulent bezoar. (How the plaintiff discovered that the bezoar did not work is not discussed in the report.) Judicial scepticism over the alleged magical powers of bezoars may well have justified this judgment in this particular case. The ruling, however, was seized on and formed an impediment to the formation of effective consumer protection remedies and the law of implied warranty well into the nineteenth century.

    The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy notes that persimmons have been identified as causing epidemics of intestinal bezoars, and that up to ninety percent of food boluses that occur from eating too much of the fruit require surgery for removal.[2]


    [edit] Bezoar pearls
    This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.
    Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (April 2008)

    In addition to bivalve pearls, there are a group of sacred natural gemstones largely considered bezoar stones, which were first documented in the Garuda Purana, one of the books of Hindu holy text Atharvaveda. In addition to oyster pearls, also enumerated are the Conch Pearl, Cobra Pearl, Boar Pearl, Elephant Pearl, Bamboo Pearl, Whale Pearl, Fish Pearl, and Cloud Pearl. These pearls were later documented in the treatise Brihat-Samhita ("The Great Compilation") of Varahamihira, the Indian mathematician. The first documented contact with these artifacts by the Western world is described in the sole volume of 18th Century scientist Albertus Seba, entitled Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Therein, a large collection of bezoar stones and non-oyster pearls were hand-sketched, and the collection of these items were on display in a forum which was the precursor of the modern day museum. Today, the original 446-plate volume, part of the greater work Locupletissimi Rerum Naturalium Thesauri Accurata Descriptio, is on permanent exhibit at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, Netherlands.

    While the sacred Nine Pearls of Vedic tradition are typically considered bezoars, the Bamboo Pearl forms in the stem of the Bamboo plant, while others such as the Cloud Pearl have no known formation process. In Indian mythology two famous pearls find mention, the Nag Mani or Snake Pearl and Gaja Mukta or Elephant Pearl. The Nag Mani is believed to be endowed with magical properties and occurs in the mouths of cobras. The Gaja Mukta is believed to occur in the forehead of elephants.


    [edit] Types of bezoars
    Food boli (singular, bolus) imitate true bezoars and are composed of loose aggregates of food items such as seeds, fruit pith, or pits as well as other types of items such as shellac, bubble gum, soil, and concretions of some medications.
    Pharmacobezoars (or medication bezoars) are mostly tablets or semi-liquid masses of drugs.
    Phytobezoars are composed of nondigestible food material (e.g., cellulose) and are frequently reported in patients with impaired digestion and decreased gastric motility.
    Trichobezoar is a bezoar formed from hair - an extreme form of hairball. Humans who frequently consume hair sometimes require these to be removed. This has also been called Rapunzel syndrome. A trichobezoar in the trachea is called a tracheobezoar.
    Diospyrobezoar is a bezoar formed from persimmons. This type of bezoar is usually seen in humans who have had prior gastric surgery or ailments. These may respond to treatment by dissolution or in some cases surgery.

    [edit] Miscellaneous
    Other types of bezoars are formed from items such as stone or sand, usually in young children.
    Ox bezoars are used in Chinese herbology, where they are called Niu-huang.
    In alchemy, animal bezoar is the heart and lungs of the viper, pulverized together.[1]
    In alchemy, mineral bezoar is an emetic powder of antimony, correct with spirit of nitre, and softened by repeated lotions, which were said to carry off the purgative virtue of the antimony, and substitute a diaphoretic one. It promoted sweat like the stone of the same name. [1]

    now what I want to know is where the f.....k they found a dragon that shits sparkly blue stones? no wonder they need a highly trained shaman, trying to steal dragon shit without getting burned must be very dangerous indeed.

    now if we all start eating persimons we could start a human pearl farm and make a killing

      "Obtaining a Mustika Pearl & bezoar stone is an intense and highly complicated magical operation that can only be performed by advanced Shamans. "

      Apparently we should not try to obtain these pearls or stones because we're not advanced Shamans. At least I'm not. I'm not even a Beginner Shaman. Not even with training wheels. Wouldn't the plural of Shaman be Shamen, rather than Shamans? Why would I want to pay $3000 for somebody's kidney stone? Is that even sanitary?

        Warning: if true, gross!

        A woman in Egypt told me that out in the countryside, a now VERY rare custom is for children to ingest the first poo of a newborn child. It supposedly means good health/luck for everyone involved. I didn't believe it, not only because it is f--king ridiculous, but also because Egyptians really like bidets. It just doesn't make sense. However, she was very convincing when she told the story because she claimed she was forced to do it by her mother. Now, with all this talk of magical butt pearls from young children, it's starting to make sense...

        Fun fact: Persimmons are a popular fruit in Egypt. Guess what they're called? Kaka. And yes, kaka can mean poo, too.

        Maybe the tradition originated from an unfortunate quid pro quo? Ugh, I can't talk about this anymore...

    I love the part about being collected only by shaman. That reminded me of a drunken dwarf I was talking to at a renfaire in Lake Tahoe a couple of years ago. No, really. He was telling me that he was a shaman. No, really. He had been a shaman for a couple of weeks now. No, really. I asked him for advice on a non-existant problem I was having, and he said he hadn't learned about that yet, he'd only been a shaman for a couple of weeks, it would take at least a couple of months before he was really good at it. Yeah, and I'm a drummer.

    Yup, we're not spiritually advanced enough to participate in such a "magical" endeavor, but we can sure fork over the money for those poor starving shamans. And put the magic poop on our mantelpiece. Hell, it's a bargain, and you're a great humanitarian to boot.

    Isn't the internet wonderful? I'll say it again... it puts you in touch with whole realms you otherwise would have never known anything about! Including ones you don't necessarily want to know anything about.... I love your opening sentence, "I'm not sure how I found this site..."

    I love this from the stores FAQ!!

    "Q. How rare are the stones and pearls you sell?


    A. On the whole, mustika pearls are all rare. Some, however, are rarer than others. Pearls are more commonly found in bamboo and banana plants, for example, but some species will very rarely produce a mustika and you will find some pearls that are strictly one of a kind. The rarest will be from non-physical beings such as dragons. Even these, however, are beginning to appear more often as more people are waking up to them and are ready to work with them. These pearls are rare, and many fakes are being offered for sale. It is up to the customer to determine which seller is real and which is not. Your best choice is to use a trusted source, we cannot indicate which companies are honest and which are dealing in fake items. We can only advise you to pay attention to how they present themselves, how long they have been in business and to beware if they offer “guarantees” or “certifications” of their pearls and stones. These cannot be made by any seller no matter what they say. "


    Why of course our dragon pearls are real. But don't believe the other sellers :)

    sorry I know I should stop and do some work now, but I just have to share these with y'all first.
    Another source for you dragon pearls www.azizshamanism.com/magickal.html

    Also of use
    Magicians staffs. This is made to your full length, so please send your measurement. It contains a very powerful tree spirit which will help you in all your magical work. Just possessing one will stimulate your psychic centres, producing rapid psychic development.
    Prices: All beads (touchwoods, psychic shields, child pacifiers) are £10 each.
    Full necklace with up to 20 beads: £100
    Containing ayahuasca: £150
    Staffs: £125


    Genies. For a further £300, a genie can be invoked into the staff, which will work with the tree spirit to give far greater magickal power. The conjuring of a genie is a 41 day process, hence the price. Genies can have various powers. Generally, staffs will be prepared with a versatile psychic type genie which will amplify all psychic abilities, and assist the working of magick, clairvoyance and astral projection, but they can be invoked for specific purposes such as drawing wealth, protection, love. If these are requested, they will be attached to the most appropriate wood. E.g. for an extra powerful protection, you could have a protective genie attached to a blackthorn necklace. For wealth, the genie would be attached to a necklace of live applewood beads.

    ok I definately am going to need a genie for the loving

    and some

    Vampire repeller. Frees one from emotional and psychic parasites. Gives you the assertiveness to say “no”.

    and all of these

    Sexual magnetism charm. Attracts the opposite sex.

    Virility charm. For men.

    Womens sexuality charm. Puts you at ease with your sexuality, overcomes shame and negative conditioning, and makes you more seductive.

    Love charm. Alters your resonance to attract genuine love.
    Cost: All faerie magick charms are £50 each. Your name and date of birth are required.

    I don't have kids but do you think this might work on grown ups, help me get my shit together

    Kids-become-tidy potion. If you have kids, you will appreciate this potion. The spell is put into water, so it can be added to their food and drink without any taste. It has a two fold spell; to increase their self- respect, and to make them aware of their environment. When this happens, they begin to tidy up. It doesn’t work instantly, but if you give it regularly, you begin to see change in a few days. 1.5 litre bottle: £40
    With all these potions, the dosage is a teaspoonful in water, twice a day.



    and since I have so much in my trolley I will be needing this to pay for it

    Prosperity potion. For those who seem to need to do endless prosperity rituals, this potion will permanently alter ones resonance to allow them to attract wealth more easily. Made from fresh herb tinctures and high spin gold. Great in combination with regular wealth rituals, such as our wealth e-course. 150ml bottle: £150

    actually I probably need two, one to pay for the first, oh no then I'll need three, no four... oh shit this is spiralling out of control!

      "Child pacifiers. Prepared from whitethorn, these will protect the child from negative thought forms and any energy that makes it restless and grouchy. A child is much calmer and happier when protected energetically, as children are rather sensitive to such influences. The bead can be kept in the child’s bed, or in its clothing"

      your shittin me right? lol ya some whiskey in a rag will do the same thing, dont mean i'd let my baby suck on it. damn.

      um a genie? any one else think thats a bad idea? hey i've seen sinbad and genies don;'t make good pets. i don't want one in my walking stick!!! i mean even jeanie form the show was always causing mayhem.
