Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Olive-gray body with rusty red scrawls that look like river maps.

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. Broad oval with an olive-tan finish. It is 12 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

Handwriting nobody can read, but everybody admires.
