Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Silvery and pitted, like a pebble that took up metalwork.

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. Standing as a short, plump oval with a mottled gray surface that glints with a metallic cast and shows fine pitting. A small patch of brick red and green mottling crowns the top. It is 8.5 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.

Rough hewn on the outside, still utterly self-contained.
