Tiger Iron Obelisk

We are very pleased to present Australian Tiger Iron Obelisks in a nice and practical shape. They add nice height to a crystal collection, and are lovely to hold as you work at your desk or meditate.

The tiger’s eye component is blue and golden patterning. Red/Brown jasper and hematite (grey) are the alternating layers.
