Collection: Tiger Eyes

Tiger's eye is a captivating, chatoyant gemstone belonging to the quartz group, instantly recognizable by its rich, parallel bands of golden, honey-yellow, and deep reddish-brown colors. Its signature "cat's-eye" shimmer—or chatoyancy—is caused by the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers that beautifully reflect light as a moving sheen across the stone, especially when it is cut as a domed cabochon. Primarily mined in iron-rich geological environments like South Africa and Western Australia, this durable mineral scores a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a popular and resilient choice for jewelry and ornamental carvings.
