Small Nellite (Lionskin) Slabs

Add a powerful, unique energy to your collection with these gorgeous Nellite slabs, also known as Lionskin. Carefully selected and cut in-house, each piece is crafted from rough rock to reveal the stunning interplay of colors and patterns that make Nellite so mesmerizing. Straight from Namibia, Africa, this rare stone is an exceptional blend of golden Tiger Eye, rich blue Hawk’s Eye, and Pietersite, swirling together in a breathtaking mix of gold, deep blue, and warm brown hues.

Each slab is left unpolished to preserve its natural texture, photographed wet to enhance the stone’s natural luster and intricate layers. We provide front and back views to capture the unique characteristics of each piece, so you can fully appreciate its one-of-a-kind charm.

Stone Origin: Nellite is a massive silicate that forms where Tiger Eye and Pietersite meet, creating a unique blend of both stones. This rare mineral displays the golden, translucent glow of Tiger Eye in quartz, along with the deep blue crocidolite fibers found in Pietersite, and blue Hawk's Eye (Blue Tigers Eye). Sometimes the blue crocidolite stands alone, and at other times it’s partially or fully silicified, mixing randomly with golden quartz to create stunning patterns. Polishing Nellite along the grain brings out its chatoyancy, revealing its luminous, shimmering effect.
