Tiger Iron (or Tiger Eye Matrix) is a gemstone containing layers of golden tiger eye, grey hematite and red jasper. It is said to contain the metaphysical properties of its component stones - the grounding power of hematite; the healing power of red jasper; the energizing power and clarity inducing strength of Tiger Eye - as well as being considered powerful in its own right. Tiger iron is believed to be a rare and potent three-fold stone; it grounds energies, protects the spirit and manifests the will. It also brings out creative and artistic abilities. Tiger Iron is a protective stone and is useful for self healing and encourages health, personal power, focused will and mental clarity.
