Abstract

Rasa Shastra is a branch of science which tend to facilitate human beings  with the aid of systematic use of metals, minerals and herbal drugs to  achieve longevity. Swarnamakshika is one of the important minerals  which is used solely or as an ingredient in many formulations for curing  many diseases such as Pandu (Anaemia), Prameha (Diabetes), Anidra (Insomnia) etc. In classics it has been described as Saklamyaghana (cure  all the diseases) In Ayurveda, the utilization of metals and minerals  comes under Rasachikitsa. These minerals can be used for internal  administration only after their fundamental processing’s. These  processing techniques are Shodhana (purification), Marana (incineration) and Satvapatna (extraction of core element). 

Swarnamakshika is a mineral which contains copper and iron. In  mineralogy, it is called as Chalcopyrite. Swarnamakshika has been  described in various classical texts. This current review paper highlights  the description of Swarnamakshika available in various Rasa Shastra 

and other classical texts.
