This is an A-grade Tiger Iron crystal mushroom, carved in Zimbabwe from Northern Cape tiger iron. Tiger iron is a banded ironstone of golden tiger's eye, red jasper and metallic hematite, laid down in ancient iron formations. It stands 6.03 inches tall, 3.73 across, 2.69 pounds, Mohs 6 to 7, natural and untreated. It came from an existing collection, not new extraction.
A one-of-a-kind piece sells once, so it rarely has reviews of its own. These are verified reviews of other Beyond Bohemian orders, not of this piece.
Tiger iron is not one mineral. It is a banded ironstone in which three materials sit together in folded layers: golden chatoyant tiger's eye, deep red jasper, and metallic gray hematite. The banding formed in ancient iron-rich sediments and was later folded, which is why the stripes curve rather than run straight.
The Northern Cape of South Africa is the principal world source of this material. Its Griqualand West banded iron formations produce the tiger's eye, jasper and hematite association together in the same rock, which is what makes tiger iron possible at all.
This mushroom was carved in Zimbabwe through an artisan network and reached us via an existing collection rather than new extraction.
Tiger iron is worked with for drive and stamina, and it carries the associations of all three of its components: the focus of tiger's eye, the grounding of jasper, and the steadying weight of hematite. It is traditionally linked to the root and solar plexus chakras.
If that resonates, it suits a desk or a place where decisions get made.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Tiger Iron sits at 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
