Tiger’s eye ring, size 12
Tiger's eye ring
Size 12, tiger's eye from Brazil, a single-stone ring - the band touches the skin all the way around. It feels cool at first, then after a few minutes it takes on the temperature of your hand and you stop noticing it. The surface is polished to a high shine, with fibers beneath it that create a shifting, silky streak of light. The band is noticeably wider and more rounded than a thin metal one.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz formed through a process of pseudomorphosis. The original fibrous structures of crocidolite were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. These microscopic fibers are responsible for the cat's-eye effect, the characteristic shimmer of light across the polished surface. The main deposits of this mineral are found in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Learn more in the article Tiger's eye - properties and history on our blog.
Care
Clean the tiger's eye ring with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid dropping it onto hard surfaces to prevent damage to the stone's structure. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
