Hematite
Magnetite
The golden Tiger’s Eye layers display chatoyancy—a moving band of reflected light created by the alignment of fibrous structures within Quartz.

Cabochons
Beads
Jewellery
Bookends
Polished slabs
Decorative carvings
The Ord Ranges and surrounding Pilbara region of Western Australia are particularly well known for high-quality Tiger Iron containing vivid red Jasper, metallic iron layers and golden Tiger’s Eye.
