Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Cool grey with a couple of rust patches hiding at either end.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Brahmin villages along a short part of the river traditionally gathered lingams from shallow water in the dry season, then shaped and hand-polished them, sometimes for as long as a year. Long oval in matte grey-green, with fine pale speckles and a darker band across the middle. A reddish-brown patch sits at the top left and another at the base. Tiny red flecks appear on the right side. It is 9 inches high and 5 in diameter.

Grey, understated and secretly given to rust-colored mischief.
