Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Soft rose-grey, with a long red crack running down like a lightning bolt.

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. Squat oval on a black foot in pearly pink-grey with faint concentric rings near the top. A narrow red-brown vein with a small dark blotch runs down the left front, and a small red dot sits to its right. It is 8.25 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

One dramatic line, and then complete composure.
