Top tiger iron Freeform - Height: 20 cm - Width: 7.2 cm- 1781 g - (1)

Tiger iron is a striking metamorphic rock composed of alternating layers of golden tiger’s eye, red jasper, and black hematite. This banded combination creates a visually dynamic pattern combining chatoyancy from tiger’s eye with the intensity of jasper and the metallic sheen of hematite. Freeform sculptures carved from tiger iron, such as a piece over 20 centimeters tall, allow appreciation of these natural stripes and color contrasts in three dimensions. Tiger iron forms in regions subjected to intense geological pressure and heat, leading to the fusion of these distinct minerals. It is valued both as an ornamental stone and a collector’s item, often fashioned into freeforms, cabochons, and decorative objects due to its vibrant colors and unique structure.
