Description from the seller

Carved from a single block of black jasper, this Shiva Lingam exudes an ancient, silent, and intense presence. Its dark hues, dotted with minute mineral inclusions, recall a night sky. It is a stone that speaks of depth and contemplation, of a primordial force that is invisible but inhabits every fiber of matter. Black jasper is a compact and rare variety of microcrystalline quartz, formed through the slow sedimentation of silica and iron oxides. In many cultures, it is considered a stone of protection, capable of absorbing heavy energies and restoring balance and clarity. It is the stone of inner silence, one that roots and contains, one that guides in the darkness with the calm of a hidden flame. The Shiva Lingam, a sacred symbol in Indian tradition, represents the union of the masculine and feminine principles, the essence of the cosmos taking shape. Its oval shape is a symbol of the eternal cycle of creation, of energy that is neither born nor dies, but transforms. In this natural version, carved and polished by hand, the black jasper Lingam embodies the solidity of the earth and the stillness of time. It is an object of meditation and contemplation, a point of stillness for space and the soul. Each piece is unique, embodying a balance between power and silence, between matter and spirit.
