Banded Tiger Iron Vitrolith
Banded Tiger Iron Vitrolith
Title: Banded Tiger Iron Vitrolith
Dimensions: 3.25” x 2.5” x 2”
Materials: Banded tiger iron and cast glass
Description: More points for Australia because it’s the exclusive location for incredible stones, including banded tiger iron. Around 2 billion years old, banded tiger iron formed from oxygen and dissolved iron bonding, then precipitating (the opposite of dissolving) into iron oxides and accumulating on the seafloor. Some deposits are hundreds of meters thick—can you imagine that? Because I can’t!
Cast, cut, ground, and polished. With love.
Please Note: This is an original, one of a kind sculpture. Indoor display only. Some glass forms lenses, which can cause fires—place in direct sunlight with caution. There are bubbles in my work. International shipping takes a long time. Please be patient and know that you will be paying VAT/customs.
