Tiger Iron is a member of the quartz group of chalcedonies. It is one of the chatoyant gemstones (which mean that this stone exhibits a shiny reflection of light upon the fibrous bands that run throughout the makeup of these stones). Composed of Tiger's Eye, Red Jasper and Black Hematite, the pattern of this stone closely resembles that of a setting sun on a landscape. Tiger's Iron is found in Western Australia, South Africa, USA, Canada, India, Namibia, and Burma.
