How to consider the texture (Main Stuff and Muan San) of Phra Somdej Wat Rakang.

Somdej Toh made his Phra Somdej by mixing the various types of material composite
(Main Stuff) such as
  - Shell lime,
  - Phong Vases (holy powder as Iittijae, Tri-ni-singhae, Pattamang, Maharaj and Buddhaku)
  - Assorted flowers from shine,
  - Rice remains after his consumption,
  - Lotus,
  - Ashes from incense burns,
  - Honey,
  - Tang oil,
    etc.

On the surface over the 140 years old of the amulets, the materials such as shell lime, honey and tang oil passed the natural of physical process such as ageing process, drying process and weather condition were well mixed and homogeneous like a cement. Some parts of amulet may have visible signs of sunken appearance.

We will see the flow in small or big size were called "Muan San"such as
   - small white dot (gravel materials of lime compound, ground burnt shell, ground sun-dried rice),
   - small brown dot (pollen powder),
   - small black dot (burned fan plam leaf powder),
 and the bigger size mixture
   - Red spots may be seen in some cases and is assumed to be caused by broken Buddha images e.g. Soomkor.
   - Green spots are assumed to be caused by fragments of green stone particles i.e. Jade or algae.
   - Gold or silver colours visible as round granules are gold or silver peg powder.  If visible as flat granules are gold or silver sand.

"Muan San" means the important mixtures presented in the main stuff as sole auspicious ingredient in powder, granule, piece or lump forms.
