Cream and burgundy with golden yolk-yellow dabs in the upper blotch.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The word Tantric is Sanskrit for to expand, and Tantra is described as a form of religious practice combining ritual, art, science and philosophy, overlaid on Hinduism and Buddhism. Upright, softly glossy oval in pale buff with long hairline cracks. A large wine-red patch sits at the top, holding golden yellow spots, and a small dark red splash marks the lower left. It is 15.75 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

A brilliant sunrise color riot, held in check.
