Gold and silver are often included in the alloy, and your phurba probably has minute traces of silver as well. Percentages depend on the locality.</p><p><br /></p><p>By slice, do you mean you cut off a piece? I sincerely hope you didn&#039;t deface an antique, and one with spiritual value.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you found out with the test was the alloy and its percentages, which are pretty much the same in later items, because of the seven sacred metals. The Zanabazar Museum could have told you the same, but they could also have told you facts that are much more relevant to your phurba.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
