Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Mostly calm sandy buff, with a few red freckles that never got organized.

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. A plump ovoid of pale putty color with a satin sheen and faint hairline scratches. Small red-brown patches cluster near the crown, and a tiny red speck sits low on the front. The base rests on a black ring. It is 8.75 inches high and 4.75 in diameter.

Restraint, with just enough red to keep things interesting.
