What is Tiger Eye?
Tiger Eye is a chatoyant gemstone that belongs to the quartz family. It forms when crocidolite (blue asbestos) fibers are gradually replaced by silica, creating the characteristic golden to reddish-brown color with flowing bands of light. This pseudomorphic process creates the stone's distinctive chatoyancy.
