Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Terracotta red with a pale cut-line across the shoulder like a tide mark.

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. A plain oval in warm brick red with mottled darker areas and soft grain lines. A jagged lighter line cuts across the upper third, a small dark spot sits near the top, and a bright highlight runs down the left. It is 9 inches high and 5 in diameter.

Warm as a flowerpot, and just as unshakeable.
