Shiva Narada Lingam Tumbled Stone Half Pound

Description

Each Shiva Narada Lingam Half Pound Tumbled Stone Pack contains hand-polished river stones with smooth ovoid shapes and natural banding in shades of brown, cream, and taupe. These sacred stones are collected seasonally from the Narmada River in central India and then hand-shaped and polished by local artisans. The process preserves their natural texture and color while enhancing their spiritual and aesthetic appeal.

Geological Background

Shiva Lingam stones are a natural blend of cryptocrystalline quartz (a chalcedony variety) mixed with trace amounts of agate, jasper, feldspar, and basalt. Their banding and coloration occur as sedimentary minerals deposit in rhythmic layers within riverbed gravels over thousands of years.

They are formed through a unique geological process where quartz-rich sediments are cemented and smoothed naturally by the river’s current, then later refined by hand polishing.

Cultural & Historical Significance

Shiva Lingam stones hold deep reverence within Hindu spirituality, symbolizing the union of Shiva and Shakti — the cosmic balance of divine masculine and feminine energies.
They are traditionally used in temples and shrines across India as symbols of fertility, creation, and universal consciousness.

The stones are said to embody the sacred energy of the Narmada River, one of India’s holiest waterways, and are often used in ritual offerings with water, milk, and flowers. Their natural elliptical shape represents the cosmic egg, a form of creation and eternity.
