                          What are *sariras* (Tibetan: *ringsels*)? 

I have seen those small crystal 'pearls' (exposed in bottles) at several (even small) monasteries in SE Asia. These *relics* remain (are found in the ashes) after the cremation of the body of (high appreciated) Buddhist monks.

Is there a scientific explanation for those *sariras*?
