1Welcome to Hinduism.SE! Here are pictures of all 12 Jyotirlingas: http://www.walkthroughindia.com/festivals/the-12-jyotirlingas-of-the-great-god-of-gods-lord-shiva/ They're all on the ground as far as I can tell. – Keshav Srinivasan Jul 22 '15 at 16:13

It was in Somnath at Gujarat.It floats due to smart use of construction materials.It does not float anymore due to destruction caused by Islamic invaders.

You can find a brief description at this link.Alternatively,the book Jai Somnath by K.M.Munshi -ISBN:9788184617696 is providing a detailed account of the temple.
