Tiger's Eye is a striking and captivating gemstone known for its rich, golden-brown color and unique chatoyancy (a reflective optical effect). It belongs to the quartz family and is prized for both its aesthetic beauty and metaphysical properties.

Tiger's Eye is easily recognizable by its silky luster and vibrant bands of yellow, gold, and brown. The stone's chatoyancy creates a mesmerizing, cat's-eye effect that appears to move as the stone is turned or viewed from different angles. This effect is caused by the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers, which reflect light in a way that creates the distinctive, shimmering lines.

Tiger's Eye is primarily found in South Africa, but it is also sourced from Australia, India, Namibia, and the United States. It forms when quartz replaces crocidolite (a type of asbestos) in a process called pseudomorphism, retaining the fibrous structure that gives Tiger's Eye its characteristic chatoyancy.

Tiger's Eye is believed to be a powerful stone of protection and grounding. It is said to promote courage, confidence, and strength, making it an ideal stone for overcoming fears and taking decisive action. Additionally, Tiger's Eye is associated with bringing balance and harmony, helping to alleviate anxiety and stress by providing a sense of stability.

Tiger's Eye is a beloved gemstone known for its stunning visual effects and reputed metaphysical benefits. Its golden-brown bands and shimmering chatoyancy make it a favorite among jewelry designers and crystal enthusiasts alike. Whether worn as a piece of jewelry or used as a tool for meditation and healing, Tiger's Eye continues to be cherished for its beauty and powerful energy.
