Polished Tiger Iron End Cut
Ord Ranges
Pilbara
Western Australia, Australia
3.51 x 1.94 x 1.87 inches (8.91 x 4.94 x 4.75 cm)

Parallel bands of deep hematitic red, metallic gray, and warm golden tones define this polished Tiger Iron end cut. The layered structure reveals alternating seams of Hematite, Jasper, and Tiger Eye, each contributing to the stone's distinctive linear pattern. Subtle chatoyant flashes appear within the golden bands as light moves across the surface, adding quiet depth to the composition. Cleanly cut to showcase the natural stratification, the form emphasizes both contrast and geological structure. This well-presented example highlights the bold, graphic character that makes Tiger Iron so enduringly appealing.
