Highly doubtful - Every one I have ever seen appears to be polished quartz bearing river rocks that are picked because of their elongated/egg shape and colors. They are usually fished out of the Narmada River in India.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Shivalingams impactites?



Good morning list.

I was told once by the store owner of a local rock shop that shivalingams are the result of meteor impacts in India... think I recall her claim was backed by info from a rock/mineral book that she uses for reference. Is this true? I haven't found anything on google that mentions anything on that..

Regards
