{"product_id":"tiger-iron-tumbled-pocket-stone","title":"Tiger Iron Tumbled Pocket Stone — Strength, Vitality \u0026 Grounding","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree stones in one. Tiger iron is a natural blend of tiger's eye, hematite and red jasper, banded together in layers of gold, dark metallic grey and deep red — which is why no two pieces look alike and why the polished surface has that shifting, striped depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional associations follow the mix.
