Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Olive-khaki ground wearing a red map of an imaginary island chain.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The article describes Banalinga as chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz with iron oxide deposits, and says scholars link their naturally occurring markings, considered spiritually auspicious, to meteoric iron. Stout oval in muted olive-brown. A large red-brown shape with soft inner veining covers the upper front, and smaller red blobs trail toward the base. The sheen is moderate and the contour is full. It is 10.5 inches high and 5.75 in diameter.
