Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Warm as a toasted loaf, with red streaks running top to bottom.

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. Elongated oval with slightly flattened sides, finished in honey-brown and amber. Vertical bands of dark red run down the front and a deeper red patch sits near the base. The surface looks soft, with scattered small pits. It is 12.75 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

Looks like it spent a long time getting this comfortable.
