Kodybear Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I found this at a house I am flipping. It is located on a hilltop of the desert with a wash on either side descending to a riverbed. There is a quarry along the riverbed where I get stone for landscaping, That stone is jagged and is colored orange-rust and white. This egg-shaped rock or specimen, however, is perfectly smooth with gray and plum coloration with a distinctive dark pattern and light spots. It is approximately 6 inches long. What do you think?

I keep one in my yard (just not buried)...put it there when we bought the place to put good energy into our new beginning. When it comes to humans and our relationships with stones, I dont think its that strange that someone might bury a lingam in their yard. Nice find...take good care of it. 1 "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.
