Tamra (copper) purification. This method is taken from rasaratna samuccaya, approx 13-14 century AD. Here molten copper is poured into buttermilk 7 times to remove blemishes (toxin). Its notable to see copper move steadily away from its bright, smooth regular form toward a more beaded, pitted form as purification progresses.

Loha (iron) shodhana, of heavily rusted iron sheet. The first stage of iron reduction is beating the sheet into a compact form, after washing. It can then be covered in a mixture of lemon juice and rock salt, this is then heated until red hot and quenched in fresh cows urine. For now these sheets are drying, I'll post quenching in a few days.
