Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Polished tan-brown like an old leather cushion, with faint red freckles up top.

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. Small rust-red flecks and a darker patch show near the crown. A rounded, broad egg in glossy caramel-brown with delicate horizontal banding. The profile closes neatly at both ends. The outline closes neatly at both ends. It is 7.5 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.

Round, warm, and slightly self-satisfied.
