(or tigereye matrix) is a quartz-lignite aggregate gemstone containing layers of vibrant golden tigereye, metallic grey hematite and rich, red jasper. Tiger iron is also sometimes called mugglestone which most likely comes from mucklestone found in Great Britain which has less contrasting colors than Tiger Iron. Generally Tiger Iron is found in Western Austrailia. Mohs hardness is 5-7. Chakras are root, sacral and solar plexus due to the combination of colors and this stone is felt to be a grounding stone as well as an energizing stone. It is paired carefully with other stones since it is considered a very powerful stone and may "supercharge" the others. It has healing properties (red jasper). Found also in Mexico, Brazil and the Great Lakes (US) areas. Chemical composition is SiO2 with Fe2O3.
