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. Standing as a slim oval in peachy tan with blushes of dusty pink at the upper left. A small dark inkblot with a crescent sits mid-body, and a bold dark brown patch with a rough edge covers the base. It is 9.25 inches high and 5 in diameter.
