Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Frosted green-gray body with a maroon crown, and a pale scratch slashing across one shoulder.

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. Broad and rounded, this oval has a dusty gray-green skin with a fine frosted speckle, brightest at the shoulders. Reddish maroon covers the crown in uneven patches, and a thin pale diagonal scratch crosses the right side. It is 9.5 inches high and 6 in diameter.

Rough around the edges, but handsomely so.
