This week’s topic is on TINY,
I would like to show you what most of you have not seen before.
RARE RELICS …TINY pearl-like crystals.
They are also known as Ringsels (
These blood relics are found amongst the cremated remains
of a holy spiritual master from
You can imagine how TINY they are as
the biggest relic only measures not more than 1.5mm in diameter.
It is believed that one will feel a sense of inner peace, love and compassion
from viewing or being near the relics.
I do hope you all feel calmer after viewing this post.

wow..where did u get this
BengBeng: you are early :) Well they are in my house. In fact, I have a lot there. Some are in very nice casings. But, it's a taboo to touch them with the bare hands if you are not spiritually strong in your belief. It will disappeared into thin air. I am not taking the risk :P
wow

Thanks for the comments - that's a neat way to photograph as well as preserve your relics...I like.

A while ago, we found a stray doggy and called her 'Tiny'...
They are indeed beautiful. A very nice and creative way of keeping them.
Mine is up too.
Hi, first time here. Wow, that's tiny and beautiful indeed. Never heard of such a thing before except in the movies. Thanks for the info.
Those are beautiful and I'm sure they are very significant and priceless. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I think everyone can use some of those in our homes. That is a beautiful piece of history. Have a great weekend and thank you for sharing your relics.
What an amazing post! I learned something new by coming to see your "tiny" photo! My photo is up, please come and visit
Very beautiful and amazing! Thank you for sharing something so special with us.
That is so neat, both the relic and the explanation. You always seem to be a pretty calm guy so they must work :-)
Well you have floored us all with this Criz. Extremely interesting, great photos for the theme. Excellent.
Good one! Very tiny indeed! :P
I like how the story progresses with each photo. Very cool!
I have never seen those, but I have heard stories of them. My husband's uncle who was a devout Buddhist monk had many of those relics after his body was cremated. I could not imagine what my husband was telling me.Thanks for sharing those photos, i now have a visual.
Those are so very tiny!!!

Very special interpretation of the word ! So far I only have seen animals and kids, lol !
Love the world wide education i get from reading posts on Photo hunter weekends. Thanks!
Come see mine.
Cool! What a nice relic to own. Did you get it from a trip?
Wow! They are truly beautiful - what special meaning they must hold for you! :-)
hmmm...interesting.Where did you get those? Thanks for sharing this to us.
have a great weekend! :)
Different cultures are so fascinating! And yet, this somewhat resembles Roman Catholocism, except the relics are kept in the churches.
Thank you for sharing this!!!
~~~Blessings~~~
Wow! I've got to go do some research on the stuff now. So fascinating! I've always been interested in this kind of stuff...
How did you get them anyway? You told me only holy man can have it right?
That is very interesting! Thank you for sharing it.
Wow! thats very cool!
Amazing and interesting, thanks for sharing
I have never heard of those before. In the close-up they look very beautiful, almost like gold. Except I guess it is more precious than gold.
Thanks for dropping into my little bit of Ireland!
Have a great day

Very nice series of shots. And I am willing to agree that most people haven't seen such relics before! :)
Cool! sacred. I have never seen them up close. It's a blessing to own them.

These are fascinating! Thank you for sharing... I love learning new things!
This is very, very interesting.
I read HERE for more information.
Are these sold in regular places, or does one earn them? It seems that they are extra special because there would be so few.
Very interesting!
Wow, thanks for sharing. I can see how it would have a calming effect. Great photos!

Terrific idea for the theme! Thanks so much for stopping by .. :)
I liked your comment about them not to be handled, there are many faiths/traditions who feel that way about relic/special ceremonial items.
May I ask what faith/tradition is this under? Wouldn't mind learning more.
Thank You for your visit and here is wishing you a strong happy week as well.
Great take on the theme and thanks for sharing it. ;)
what a fascinating relic -- your blog and photohunt pictures are among the best I've come across. Thanks for visiting my blog. Take care, Larry
sue: nice to see you too
diane: it's buddhism
larry: that's a good compliment larry. Thanks a lot.
What a beautiful story - and great pictures too!
