Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Grey-green above and mushroom-brown below, flecked with tiny black freckles.

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. Thickset oval whose upper half is grey-green with a ragged red band near the top and a smudged charcoal stripe below it. The lower half is tan-brown, finely peppered with tiny black dots and softly matte. It is 8 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

A sensible two-tone outfit with a sprinkle of pepper.
