Tiger Iron Gemstones - Premium Grade
Two beautiful tiger iron gemstones, cut as cabochons and highly polished. Both show slight chatoyance.
Tiger iron is often mistaken for the mineral tigers eye, but they're not the same.
A banded iron formation, the type known as tiger iron is only found in Western Australia.
Banded iron formations occur in rocks that date back 1.8 to 2.5 billion years.
In recent years, tiger iron used for its healing properties has acquired the name Mugglestone.
In our second photo, the light is reflecting off the hematite in the gemstone on the left.
