Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Deep moss green with a rosy blush at the crown, like a pebble that has seen some sun.

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. A broad, softly pointed oval in dark green-gray with a smooth, even polish. A pinkish red patch with a greenish halo sits near the top, and a tiny dark dot marks the lower half. It is 11.5 inches high and 6 in diameter.

Calm, dark, and quietly pleased with its blush.
