Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

A maroon continent has drifted across its shoulders, pale gray below.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Dams planned along the Narmada since the 1940s have steadily removed the dry season that harvesting depends on, so gathering genuine lingams from the riverbed has become close to impossible. Formed as a broad egg shape in warm putty gray with a matte, lightly pitted finish. A deep red-brown mass covers the top left, ending in jagged inlets and little islands. It is 7 inches high and 4.75 in diameter.

Plenty of coastline, very little ocean.
