Tiger Eye Iron

The stone behind this slab combines golden tiger's eye with darker, iron-rich layers, which accounts for its bands of copper, tobacco brown and black. The cut changes the result considerably. In the vein cut, straight stripes run through each piece and meet at varied angles across the slab. The cross cut shows the layers from another direction, giving mottled orange and black patterns with curving edges.

Both versions are assembled by hand at a standard thickness of 2 cm, and can also be produced from 0.6 to 4 cm and to custom dimensions up to 320 x 190 cm. Opaque and high in contrast, the stone works on bar fronts, fireplace walls, desks and statement tabletops, especially alongside dark wood or bronze. Spills are easiest to manage when wiped up soon, followed by a rinse with neutral soap. Modul Marble can order either cut.
