Description
These Shiva Lingam stones are crafted from authentic chalcedony, a variety of cryptocrystalline quartz known for its distinctive smooth texture and natural banding. Each stone is shaped in the traditional Shiva Lingam form, with an elongated, oval silhouette and subtle color variations that range from earthy browns to soft grays and tans. These stones are offered individually, and four are currently available.
Shiva Lingam stones are recognized for their iconic shape and are often associated with specific geological origins—most notably the Narmada River in India. However, it’s important to note that while these stones are made from the correct stone type, their exact place of origin and whether they were naturally formed by the river or shaped by human hands cannot be verified in our batch. Both natural and hand-shaped Shiva Lingam stones exist on the market, and these pieces may represent either category. Please be aware of this if you choose to purchase from other sellers. It is likely that they do not actually know unless they are a supplier direct from India who also knows their own suppliers.
Each piece has been selected for its quality and adherence to the classic Shiva Lingam shape. The stones are smooth, polished, and comfortable to hold or display, with natural patterns and banding unique to each specimen. Their compact size makes them suitable for display on a shelf, in a collection, or as an educational sample for those interested in geology or mineral identification.
These stones are ideal for collectors who value natural minerals and honest representation. They also make thoughtful gifts for anyone interested in geology, natural history, or the diversity of the mineral world.
