Crafted by human hands.
The strong waves of Narmada River hits the stones in the river and thus this Linga forms its oval shape. This process takes thousands of years together and it is so auspicious. It is belived tgat One can even here the water inside when shaken.
Narmada Shivling are quite strong and the hardness is a 7 on the Mohs scale.Researchers and geologists suggest that the unique composition of the Narmadha Shivalingas was due to the impregnation of its rocky river-sides and the rocks in the river bed.

Have you ever notice the Structure of Bhaba Atomic Research Centre BARC resembles like a Shivling ?
Water continuously flows through nuclear reactor to keep it cool.A water pot is a always placed over shivling to pour water on it continuously.The function of Shivalinga is
very close to a nuclear reactors which generates universally present energy which we call the energy of Shiva,which is unlimited and divine.
The morden day nuclear reactor is an inspiration of that energy creation.
The water comes out from the Shivling is never consumed
Also no one is allowed to cross the spout during padakshina.
Just like that the water released from the nuclear reactor can not be consumed as it polluted with radiation.
