Tiger iron is a mineral mixture consisting of varying proportions of:
Tiger's eye - jasper and magnetite/hematite
Layering of 2.3 MILLION years old magnetite EISENOXYD of volcanic origin that was deposited in deep-sea trenches, with reddish-brown jasper. In the cavities, first hawk's eye and then the well-known tiger's eye formed in later times through the incorporation of LIMONITE.
The layers in this rough stone are banded and deformed by enormous pressures.
