Tiger Iron is an unusual rock that is best described as a combination of the stones gold tiger-eye, grey hematite and red jasper.  These minerals together create a very beautiful and unique stone.  Tiger iron is a fairly heavy stone.  As mentioned above, it contains hematite, which gives the stone its weight, as hematite is 70% iron.  The gold flashes are caused by the tiger-eye.  These flashes can be quite spectacular in some pieces.  Tiger iron makes beautiful stone jewellery; it also makes a good stone for home decorator pieces.  It is a little more difficult to carve as the different stones that make up tiger iron have different hardness and require different carving and polishing methods to produce the best results.  

Each bead is skillfully polished individually, then drilled to create this colorful bracelet. Connected with jewellery elastic, this bracelet stretches to fit. Perfect for stacking with other bracelets or just to wear on its own. A must-have staple for any jewellery box.
