Thokcha are tektites and meteorites which serve as amulets. Typically high in iron content, these are traditionally believed to contain a magical, protective power comparable to Tibetan dzi beads. Most thokcha are made of a copper alloy.
Thokcha also called ‘sky-iron’ are meteorites which are often very high in iron content – like an iron meteorite. The usage of thokcha meteoric iron is common in the history of iron metallurgy.
