7.87 x 2.49 x 0.67 inches (20.00 x 6.33 x 1.69 cm)

Measuring nearly 8 inches (20 cm) in maximum length, this reflective slab of Tiger's-Eye is bold, big, and beautiful with a polished surface featuring a prominent band of chatoyant golden hue with accents of "merlot" red. This semiprecious material from Australia is popular for obvious reasons, with captivating patterns that flow across the polished surface. In contrast, the reverse is unpolished, showcasing not only the natural state of this lapidary work but also the expert polishing needed to unlock the mesmerizing beauty of this exceptional slab.
