拍品专文

Found only in the blue crocidolite seams of the Hamersley Range in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, this highly iridescent ironstone, Marra Mamba, is amongst the rarest and most colourful of all Tiger-eye. Probably stromatolitic in origin, this fossil is amongst the earliest signs of life on Earth, and as a semi-precious stone is also one of the most beautiful.
