Types of Shilajit –

  • Shilajit is classified by the type of mountainous rocks from which it emanates:

  • Copper-containing rocks (Tamra Shilajit): The exudation from these rocks has a peacock-like look, i.e. a bluish-purple color, and demonstrates Tikta Rasa and Katu Vipaka.
  • Iron-containing rocks (Lauha Shilajit): Considered to be the best variety, the exudation resembles Guggulu gum (i.e. Commiphora mukul) and depicts Tikta.
