Sri Naga Mani
"Pearls from the cobra's hood are perfectly round, like fish pearls, and they radiate a natural effulgence. By repeated washing, a snake pearl becomes as lustrous as a polished sword blade. Anyone possessing such a naga-mani attains piety, rare good fortune, and eventually becomes illustrious as a leader of men, complete with a great collection of all precious gems."
"Upon acquiring such a snake pearl, the owner should have the rite of installation performed by a priest who is learned in religious formalities. After hearing from the owner how the pearl was obtained and conducting the benedictory ritual, the priest should formally install the jewel inside the owner's house. On such an auspicious occasion, the sky becomes filled with dark and heavy rain clouds, thunder, and flashing lightning, such as exhibited at the time of universal dissolution. A man in possession of such a snake pearl will never be troubled by snakes, demonic beings, diseases, or disturbances in any form."---Sri Suta Goswami - Sri Garuda Puranam: 69
Gems from the Underworld... Sri Naga Mani or The Cobra Pearls
1. Description of pearl.
Egg-shaped translucent, transparent, and semi-translucent gems of roughly 2cm length, 2cm diameter and weighing about 5 grams. Some varieties are tumbled and polished while others are unpolished, and all appear in a range of colors (golden, green, red, blue, pink, white, black). Some have stratification which may periodically change direction or contrast. Others have hatchlike surface textures, yet others have tiny inclusions that may appear and disappear over time.
2. References to the pearl within sacred texts.
The body of information on these pearls is fairly large in the Eastern knowledge base and the legends exist within most Asian cultures, with apparent origin in the cobra-revering Naga tribe (who literally trace their bloodline to a Cobra patriarch) found in India, Tibet and some Innuit tribes residing above the Arctic Circle.
Some of the earliest legends describe Naga women who turn from human to snake at will, aided by a jewel embedded in their forehead. Rather than attempt to document all of this material, a synopsis may be most useful to understand Sri Naga Mani within the constructs of Hinduism and its outer borders.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS:
The life of cobra or king cobra recorded in captivity is around 20-30 years and they live less in wild because of very high death rates due to infant mortality, diseases, predators, bad weather, accidents, or competition for food.
Now coming to cobra pearl as per the article published in Harper's monthly magazine by Prof. Hensoldt PhD, who saw the cobra pearl with his own eyes in Sri Lanks in natural conditions and also owned few pieces before he left Ceylon, ultimately it was found to be mineral called chlorophane, a rare variety of fluorspar.
Some varieties of chlorophane are so sensitive that even slight warming of hand (such as is produced by holding the sample in hand for few momemts) will cause them to phosphoresce for hours in the dark.
Similar chlorophane pebbles were also found by eminent Berlin mineralogist Gustave Rose in Altai Mountains of Siberia, these chlorophane pebbles shone with intense brilliancy all night long without having received any other warming that that by the sun's rays during the day.
From where does these chlorophane pebbles come from, why snakes carry it and how they make use of it?
These water worn chlorophane pebbles are normally found in dry bed rivers and especially in area where gem mines are around, i.e. places like Sri Lanka, Burma and Ural (Siberia). In Sri-Lanka the chlorophane is also called serpent stone. A chlorophane from Siberia glows white from hand heat, green in boiling water and emerald on burning coal. And Chlorophane from Amelia Court House, Virginia, long recognized as remarkably thermo luminescent, became, after exposure to UV rays, so sensitive it would glow green from the heat of one's hand."
The activator causing the green fluorescence, according to Gleason, is yttrium. The color of fluorescence may vary depending on traces of impurities in chlorophane. The image of such mani at daylight and night which was obtained from cobra is already there in our photos section.
The cobras are perhaps the only serpents which will eat insects. They feed on ants, grasshoppers, variety of beetles, etc., but seem to have preference for fire-lies, because they can be caught at night much more easily than any other insect, darting here and there to catch these fire-flies is tiring for a cobra. Now every entomologist knows that the flying lightning bugs consist entirely of males. The females, which are not very numerous, are much larger and cannot fly, as they have only rudimentary wings. They sit quietly in grass, emitting a greenish light which is much stronger than that of the males, and fades and becomes brilliant at regular intervals, this light attracts male lightning bugs and they almost land in close proximity.
The pebble of chlorophane also emits in the dark a dark green light, which is so much like that of female lightning bug that is an easy matter to deceive the male fire-fly with it, by setting it up as a decoy. The cobras have gradually come to take advantage of an experience made by them accidentally.
As per author , it may frequently happen, for instance that cobra finds one these shining pebble in the gravel of the dry river beds, being attracted to it by its glow at night, and taking it for a glow worm(larvae) . It would then, at any rate notice that the fire-lies could be caught much more easily and quickly in the neighborhood of that shining object than anywhere else and would habitually return to it. Several cobras might come together and there would be competition, and from this moment to the finding out that success in capturing fire-lies depends on the possession of this phosphorescent pebble, and to the seizing of it in order to prevent another snake from monopolizing it. In Author's opinion it is no great step and involved no exception powers of reasoning. The cobra carries it about and soon learns to treasure it, for it affords it an easy means of getting its living. All it has to do is deposit this stone in the grass at night and the obliging insects literally fly down its throat. There are even reasons for believing that no individual experience is now necessary to cause any cobra to act in this manner, but that even a young co- bra, on finding such a stone, will instinctively take it up, and use it in the manner I have described. It must be borne in mind that there is an inherited race memory among the lower animals which is often far stronger than the memory gathered during the short lifetime of the individual.
Thus the accumulated experience of the cobra's ancestors during countless generations now causes it to act in a manner which we refer to instinct. Such are the remarkable facts connected with the naja-kallu, the cobra's shining stone. Who can tell whether the old traditions of snakes carrying precious stones, of which we still find traces in our fairy tales, may not have their source in some such fact as this?
Conclusion:
1. Cobra Pearl is mineral called Chlorophane, it is not formed inside body of snake.
2. King Cobra does not eat insects, it eats other snakes,small mammals and lizards, so King Cobra would not need this chlorophane pebble to hunt insects. So a king cobra would not carry such pebble.
3. Since Chlorophane is mineral, question of petrified cobra pearl does not arise.
4. Typically old snakes use chlorophane pebble to attract fire-flies or other insect and on loss of such pebble they may not die of grief but because of hunger, due to their inability to hunt.
