It is an interesting narrative. Doe shaligramam
mean black stone? I thought it refer to a very
special stone fossil, ammonites, with sanil like
sea creature embedded as a fossil, quite cole
to a shanku( xut ) in resemblance.
I had associated this to choosing one of the
oldest fossils known to man as symmbolizing
creation. Such shaligrams are found in Nepal and
Hilalyab valleys of Brahmaputra, as a 
rsult of the creation of Inida from a piece of
Antartica. Othe r such fossils are found
in Europe etc. in all shapes. May be some one
here may shed more light and correct me.
