Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Deep, inky brown, with no show and no pattern, only a quiet glow.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Dams planned along the Narmada since the 1940s have steadily removed the dry season that harvesting depends on, so gathering genuine lingams from the riverbed has become close to impossible. Rising tall, straight-sided and evenly rounded, the oval is a very dark brown, close to black, with a smooth satin surface. Soft highlights appear at the upper shoulders, and a tiny pale dot sits low on the left. A black disc supports it. It is 13.75 inches high and 7.25 in diameter.

A good dark suit, perfectly pressed.
