Hin Hoi (trans: Shell stone) are calcareous opercula of shells
which are considered magical in Thailand.
*
Surprisingly, these same opercula are considered sacred in India
where they are called "Eye of Kali" and also in Corsica (and in Italy)
where it is called "Eye of Saint Lucy", "Eye of the Virgin" but also "Eye of Venus"!
*
In Thailand, Hin Hoi are considered talismans of good fortune,
We keep a pair in our wallet to attract money.
But they are also (and above all) a cute talisman for lovers, who each take one with them when they have to separate, the Hin Hoi being magically attracted to each other will help the lovers to see each other again more quickly.
*
A very fun Thai tradition with the Hin Hoi
consists of placing them on a plate with lemon juice,
and then we see them moving on their own like
if they had a life of their own,
and also spontaneously come closer to each other as if by magic
(see video).
*
The Hin Hoï offered to you here measure approximately 10 mm in diameter
and are sold in pairs with a small instruction manual.
