Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Mossy green-brown with a rusty tangle at the shoulder, like roots clinging on.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The article describes Banalinga as chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz with iron oxide deposits, and says scholars link their naturally occurring markings, considered spiritually auspicious, to meteoric iron. Pointed at the top, this oval is smooth and glossy in deep olive and brown. Red-brown branching marks cluster at the upper left, and fine scratches fan across the lower body. A small pale mark sits on the right. It is 20.25 inches high and 10.5 in diameter.

Forest floor colors, kept spotlessly clean.
