Makshika is a mineral with copper and iron found in Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan. There are two types - Suvarna makshika containing copper and iron sulfides, and Rajata makshika containing iron pyrite. It is heavy, shiny, and imparts a golden hue when heated. Purification methods include heating in oils like castor or coconut water, or dipping the heated mineral in triphala decoction. To prepare medicine, the purified makshika is ground with equal sulfur and coconut water until uniform, then heated in clay until red-hot to form bhasma with balya, rasayana, and other medicinal properties used
