Iron Dorje of Mahasiddha Thangtong Gyalpo.

These small iron Dorje are made of 30% iron from links
of one of the famous Chakzampa (Iron Bridge) built almost
600 years by Mahasiddha Thangtong Gyalpo (1385-1509).
*
Iron Dorje are mentioned in the texts of Guru Rinpoche
as being very conducive to the practices of protectors,
and more specifically for the practice of Chana Dorje (Vajrapani).
*
Nowadays, iron Dorje are very rarely found in Nepal.
the vast majority of production is now in bronze
(because it is much easier to work with by molding).
*

These iron dorje are very precious relics, which provide a direct link
with one of the most extraordinary Masters of the Tibetan tantric tradition.
*
With time and use, the iron Dorje take on a very beautiful dark patina
(they rust on the surface and should be rubbed from time to time
with sand and oil them, the patina comes little by little).
