Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Plum, tan and burnt orange swirl together like a sunset on a loaf of bread.

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. Basically it is a tapered oval with a warm, slightly mottled polish. Soft plum purple covers the upper body, fading to a creamy tan on the left. A ragged patch of orange and rust fills the lower center, with a pale diagonal streak above. It is 12 inches high and 6 in diameter.

Colors that argue gracefully and refuse to settle.
