Fakes can't imitate this! The natural science of "aging" occurs over time. | Bantakiang
What's beneficial about this video:
It shows the natural process of material transformation (Self-Organization), allowing viewers to see the "marks of time" as a whole, rather than just memorizing flaws. This helps in evaluating amulets more broadly and accurately based on the reality of the material.
"Aging isn't just about dust or dirt; it's a chemical reaction at the molecular level that cannot be faked by human hands."
It delves into the behavior of composite materials in Phra Somdej amulets. Over time, the various materials, including aged lime, tung oil, and sacred powder, undergo settling and molecular rearrangement. The resulting marks, whether collapses, separations, or shrinkage, become rounded, soft, and appear to be one with the amulet. These are natural processes resulting from real environmental conditions over centuries, not from a fleeting application of acid or heat like in modern amulets.
