TIGER IRON SLAB
A West Australian Tiger Iron slab. Features beautiful wide band of shimmery golden tiger eye with hematite and jasper. This piece is poorly liquid glassed with some shaky hands ready for carving into a beautiful piece of jewellery. A perfect gift for a lapidarist or carver. My photos do no justice here, sorry about the blurry ones.
