Shiva Lingam Pendant & Stones

Linga (or plural, Lingam) in the Sanskrit language means phallus, but also sign or emblem. The Shiva-Lingam is a symbol of the Hindu deity Shiva as generative force of the universe. The typical Shiva-lingam is an elongated, elliptical stone, usually paired with the yoni, a stone receptacle in representative of the female genitals.

The stones are found exclusively in the Narmada river, which is located in the mountains of Mandhata in India. The colour and patterning of the stone vary a lot, from grey to beige, to brown and a reddish brown. The stones are made of crypto crystalline quartz and legend has it that they formed when a meteorite fell to earth several million years ago. The natural movement of the river is believed to help create the egg or oval shape of the stones. They're only gathered on one day each year and are hand polished to give them a smooth and gleaming surface.

The shape of the stone represents male energy (knowledge) and the markings, which differ greatly from stone to stone, represent female energy (wisdom). Together the two elements signify the merging of male and female energy and the stones can act as a reminder to us to balance our own male-female energies and create a more harmonious state of being. In India, the only place where they're found, they're regarded as being sacred and holy stones and are highly thought of in both Hindu and Buddhist belief systems.

Shiva Lingam's are said to have one of the highest frequency vibration rates of all the stones on earth. As such, the vibration is said to be perfect for purification purposes, whether at home, work or in an area of sacred space. To use a Shiva Lingam simply hold it in your hand, as its quartz the head will generate electricity and the vibrations will release inner tensions. Use it as a aid to restful mediation letting the stresses of the day disappear. Keep it near you as much as possible and it will absorb negative energies.
