A powerful "three-in-one" mineral from the ancient Ord Range of Western Australia. This 52mm sphere showcases the dramatic, planetary banding of golden Tiger’s Eye, deep Red Jasper, and metallic silver-black Hematite. Unlike standard stones, Tiger Iron is a Banded Iron Formation (BIF) dating back over 2 billion years, representing a time when Earth's oceans first began to oxygenate. The high-gloss polish brings out the "chatoyancy" of the golden bands, which shimmer as the sphere is rotated.
