Tiger Iron – Tumbled

Tiger iron is also sometimes called mugglestone, to the surprise and delight of Harry Potter fans everywhere! (This unusual term probably comes from “mucklestone,” found in a place named “Moclestone” in what is now Great Britain.) This version of tiger iron has little, or low contrast, tigereye bands–which can take some of the (dare we say it?) … magic … out of the stone. Some versions of mugglestone are also low on red jasper, making it a highly included, banded form of natural hematite.
