Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Speckled bronze-brown with a frosty, lived-in grain, like a well-handled river pebble.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Genuine Banalinga are generally described as forming in the currents of one short stretch of the Narmada River in central India, rather than being carved from stone or cast in bronze. Built as a stout, full oval with a dusty brown-green surface covered in tiny pale speckles. A soft vertical highlight shows along the upper face. The polish is subdued and slightly rough, with no bold patches, stains, or decoration. It is 12 inches high and 7 in diameter.

Tough, earthy, and not remotely interested in sparkle.
