Tiger Iron Cabochons
Tiger Iron cabochons are a striking and durable gemstone formed by the natural layering of golden tiger eye, deep red jasper, and metallic hematite. This unique combination creates dramatic bands of shimmering gold, rich burgundy, and steel-gray tones, often displaying chatoyancy (a silky, moving light effect) in the tiger eye layers. Each cabochon showcases its own natural patterning, making every piece completely one of a kind.
Highly valued by lapidary artists and jewelry makers, Tiger Iron is not only visually bold but also extremely tough and polish-able, making it ideal for rings, pendants, bracelets, and statement jewelry designs. The contrasting bands provide natural depth and movement that stand out beautifully in both modern and rustic settings.

Because these cabochons are cut from natural stone, variations in banding, color intensity, and chatoyancy are expected and add to the individuality and beauty of each piece.
