Narmada River, Central Highland, India Collected in the Narmada River by Hindus as sacred stones for over 4,000 years, lingams are seen as symbols of Shiva and are believed to impart powers of fertility. According to local legend, lingams were marked by a meteoric impact and, therefore, represent the union of heaven and earth. Magnificent viewing stones, Shiva Lingams may be used as natural indoor sculptures or as centerpieces in meditation gardens. Iron oxide contributes the attractive markings on composite quartz granite. The present lingam displays an attractive taupe color with numerous desirable brown markings, a wonderfully neutral palette for decorative purposes. This unique natural sculpture has been laboriously polished to form without the use of mechanized tools. Measures 34in
