Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Inky green and glossy, with a red swoosh at the shoulder like racing paint.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The word Tantric is Sanskrit for to expand, and Tantra is described as a form of religious practice combining ritual, art, science and philosophy, overlaid on Hinduism and Buddhism. Soft oval on a thick black disc in deep green-grey with a glass-like polish. A red-brown band with olive edges curves around the upper left, and a lighter patch shows low on the left. Fine scratches are visible. It is 16.25 inches high and 10.5 in diameter.

Fast-looking, for something that has never moved an inch.
