Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Taupe lower body, purple-gray top, and a curling dark shape sweeping across like a wave.

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. Shaped as a chunky oval with flat shoulders. The lower body is soft sandy gray, while the top is a dusty violet gray that swoops downward in a curling tongue across the right. A small dark line sits low on the left. It is 8.75 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.

A big dramatic wave, entirely at rest.
