This enables you to purchase multiple small items to increase the variety in your collection for a lower cost. Save on shipping by purchasing multiple items from my store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been very fortunate in securing a few of these extremely unusual Western Australian Tiger Iron slabs. Personally I have never seen anything like this before and they just blew me away, the photos really don’t do them any justice. If you are familiar with this material you will immediately see what I mean. I have purchased these directly from the lease holder and he has only ever found this the formation from one small location and it is very rare. The usual flowing bands of alternating Jasper, Tiger Eye and Hematite in Tiger Iron is absent. This material has Hematite bleeding through large sections of the Tiger Eye formation amazing peaks, troughs and patterns like nothing I have ever seen before. In my humble opinion these are true collector pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece weighs 135g and measures 6cm x 6cm x 1cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best examples of Tiger Iron, sometimes called Mugglestone are found in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and it is a fusion of 3 minerals: Tiger Eye, Hematite and red\/black or brown Jasper. Tiger Iron is mined from an Archaean formation (3000 million years) in the Ord Ranges, near Port Hedland in Western Australia. This area is rich in iron ore used in the steel industry. The stones striking pattern consists of narrow alternating bands or layers of golden Tiger Eye, silver metallic Hematite and red, brown or black Jasperlite. Traditionally it has been used as a grounding stone to build stamina and encourage creative expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis deposit is unique because it appears to be the only recorded occurrence of Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) in a formation of this age. Crocidolite is leached by iron rich minerals and silicified to produce the golden Tiger Eye we see in the stone today. During its formation, much of the deposit was subject to incredible heat and pressure which has resulted in the bands of the rock being folded. In the case of Tiger Iron, the buildup of shallow sea sediments and the heated water from volcanic activity dissolved its silica content and left behind iron ore deposits. This combination of colour and pattern is highly regarded and has helped make Tiger Iron one of Australia’s best known semi-precious gemstones. Tiger Iron is used widely in jewellery, carvings and ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow are some of the attributes that each mineral imparts into the stone:\\n* Hematite - Clears the mind and keeps your thoughts and ideas grounded.
