Geological Information

Tiger's Eye is a variety of Quartz that forms through the replacement of fibrous Crocidolite by Quartz while retaining the original fibrous structure. This process creates the stone's famous silky appearance and chatoyant effect.

The beautiful golden and brown colours are produced by iron oxide within the stone, while the preserved fibrous structure creates the moving band of reflected light that makes Tiger's Eye so recognisable.
