Lord Shiva Small Shivling made in natural Howlite Gemstone. This White Gemstone (Howlite) Shivling is a symbol for the worship of the Hindu God Shiva. The Shivling symbolizes the primeval energy of the Creator.

Shivaling has three distinct parts which are considered as portions of Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva. The lower part represents Brahma, the middle Vishnu and the upper and the most prominent represents Shiva. Thus, Shivling represents all the three powers in one- as the Param Braham or Supreme Shiva.
