Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Deep green-gray with an amber stripe at the middle and flecks like a night sky.

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. Overall it is a narrow, glossy oval in dark green-gray, with two bright highlights at the shoulders. A thin band of orange-brown runs around the middle, and tiny pale specks dust the lower half. A little black ring marks the base. It is 15 inches high and 7.5 in diameter.

Even its stripe looks like it was meant to be there.
