Tiger's Eye Jewelry: Strength, Courage, and the Golden Gaze
Tiger's Eye is one of the most distinctive gemstones – its golden-brown silken band pattern shimmers in the light, resembling the eye of a predator. As a protective and powerful stone, it carries a history spanning millennia. This guide explains the stone, its meaning, and how to wear it in a modern way.
What is Tiger's Eye?
Tiger's Eye is a quartz mineral with a characteristic fibrous structure of parallel crocidolite fibers (blue asbestos) that have been replaced by quartz. This fibrous structure creates the characteristic optical phenomenon "chatoyancy" – a silky band of light that moves across the stone with movement, like a cat's eye. Mohs hardness: 7. Main occurrences: South Africa, Australia, India, USA.
