Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Lilac grey, with maroon lines running down it like a dropped thread.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Genuine Banalinga are generally described as forming in the currents of one short stretch of the Narmada River in central India, rather than being carved from stone or cast in bronze. Slender oval in cool lavender-grey. A dark maroon cap sits at the top, and a thin maroon line runs down the front, branching into a flat leaf-like stroke at the middle. Faint cracks cross the surface. It is 8 inches high and 4.25 in diameter.

Fine line work, wandering off just where it felt like it.
