Nature combined tiger eye, red jasper, and hematite and created Tiger iron, or what is sometimes known as mugglestone. Tiger iron is said to carry the properties of the three stones from which it came. It is a motivating stone, said to provide us with energy, confidence, focus, and willpower. It is thought to give us strength to accomplish difficult tasks because it keeps us focused and determined. It is thought to allow us to see below the surface and discover hidden truths. Tiger iron is said to foster artistic talent and creativity. It is a protective stone believed to repel negative energy. Tiger iron is associated with the Zodiac sign of Leo.
The following article about tiger iron was written by Stephanie Pflumm.
Tiger Iron is a text book example of a metamorphosed gemstone. Over two billion years ago deposits of red Jasper, Tiger Eye and Hematite were slowly smashed together when tectonic plates shifted to create the Australian continent.
Intricate designs are the result of tremendous pressures on the original crystals. Their presence is still very noticeable the layers of gold, silver, brown and red creating unique vertical and horizontal patterns.
While the stone is billions of years old, apparently we've only recently become acquainted with it. Searches on the internet, public library and the local university library yielded only scattered scraps of information on the geological background of Tiger Iron. Mineralogy and Geology are not fast moving sciences. Many references and text books were written several decades ago with occasional revisions updating information.
This unusual trinity stone carries the energies of it's three parents; Jasper, Tiger Eye and Hematite. Jasper and Tiger Iron are silicates or Quartz crystals. Tiger Iron carries the spiritual powers of Quartz combined with the grounding Earth energies of Hematite, a very strong and powerful tool.
