Medium African Tumble Stone - Dragon Stone
Dragon Stone (also known as Epidote-Piemontite) is one of the most mysterious and visually striking African minerals. Vivid green epidote crystals and red-reddish-brown piemontite inclusions combine to create this dramatically beautiful, truly unique mineral. In our medium African tumbled stone range it is available as M-size, polished pieces; according to our supplier, the stone originates from South Africa.

Characteristics
Dragon Stone takes its name from its dramatic appearance: the green and red patches form a “dragon-skin-like” pattern. The deep green of epidote is broken by the warm red of piemontite, creating a contrast that makes every stone a genuinely arresting piece. Each stone holds a different ratio of green to red, so no two Dragon Stones are alike.
How to Use
Dragon Stone is a showstopping decorative piece: display it on a shelf, in a cabinet, or in a mineral dish. It is particularly sought after by collectors, as the natural merging of the two minerals occurs only at certain South African deposits. As a gift, it is an extraordinarily unique and unforgettable surprise.
Why Choose This?
Dragon Stone is not only visually stunning but also represents a true geological rarity. Its vivid colours and unique pattern make it a special African treasure. An L-size variant is also available if you are looking for a truly impressive piece.
Tips
- The green and red contrast is best appreciated in natural light.
- Clean with a dry cloth; avoid chemicals.
- Pair with other green and red-toned stones (jasper, aventurine) for a striking mineral display.
- Gift-boxed, it makes a special and unique surprise for crystal collectors.
