Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Brooding maroon with pale tan wings tucked in on each side.

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. Lofty oval in glossy dark red-brown. Pale tan-grey patches with straight edges sit on the left and right, like folded wings, while a plain dark cap covers the top. The surface is smooth and finely polished. It is 8.75 inches high and 4 in diameter.

Dark suit, tan lining, impeccable tailoring.
