Banded iron stone, fist size and smaller pieces.

Banded iron stone in fist-size and smaller pieces, showing distinct near-parallel bands of varying thickness. The colouring runs from deep reddish-brown and vibrant rust orange through to narrower bands of dark grey and black, with some areas carrying a subtle semi-glossy sheen where the light catches the layered surface. Natural and unpolished.
