Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Big, black, and glossy at the shoulders, with a faint green cast hiding in the shadows.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Dams planned along the Narmada since the 1940s have steadily removed the dry season that harvesting depends on, so gathering genuine lingams from the riverbed has become close to impossible. Rounded out as a full-bodied oval with a high rounded crown. Deep black with a subtle greenish undertone, it carries two clear vertical highlights on the upper half. The lower body fades to a drier, matte finish without visible marks. It is 15.25 inches high and 8.25 in diameter.

Presence enough that it never needs a label.
