Blue Tiger's Eye – Marra Mamba, Pilbara WA | 1.5kg Specimen

Blue Tiger's Eye – Marra Mamba | Pilbara, Western Australia

One of nature's most extraordinary optical phenomena meets one of the world's most ancient geological formations. This stunning 1.5kg Marra Mamba Tiger's Eye specimen from the Pilbara region of northwest Western Australia is a true collector's treasure.

What makes Marra Mamba so special?

Unlike standard golden tiger's eye, true Marra Mamba displays a breathtaking multi-coloured chatoyant effect — bright flashes of red, gold, green, and cobalt blue shimmer and shift as light moves across the silky, fibrous crystal surface. The stone is further enriched by layers of metallic silver hematite and multi-hued jaspers, creating a depth of colour that is entirely unique to this formation.

Ancient beyond imagination

Named after the Marra Mamba Iron Formation, this material is approximately 2.7 billion years old — predating multicellular life on Earth. Holding this specimen is holding a piece of deep time.
