Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Cream-colored and calm, wearing a small maroon cap.

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. Shaped like a smooth, tall oval in pale oatmeal with a soft matte finish and two faint tan spots low on the body. The crown is covered by a dark red cap with a slightly wavy edge. It is 8 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

Pale, plain, and perfectly poised.
