- Origin: Australia
- Age: Early Proterozoic (about 2.5 billion years ago)
- Size: H8cm W32cm D33.5cm
- Description: Dating from the early Proterozoic era (approximately 2.5 billion years ago), the Marra Mamba Iron Formation specimen has a broad chatoyant band that has been ground and polished into a shell and has a wavy, fire-colored coloration; the bottom is sanded flat for display. This bowl is particularly thin, which makes it a rarity.
- Additional information: Found in Western Australia, this highly iridescent ironstone is one of the rarest and most colorful of all tiger eyes. Likely of stromatolite origin, this fossil is one of the earliest signs of life on Earth, and as a semi-precious stone it is also one of the most beautiful.
