Tiger’s eye ring, size 13
Tiger's eye ring
The size 13 band was carved from a single piece of tiger's eye and polished all over, with no joins. The stone's fibers from Brazil run parallel, so a bright band appears on the ring in the light and shifts as the hand moves - this phenomenon gave the mineral its name. The color is warm brown interwoven with golden bands. The ring is smooth to the touch, with no sharp edges, and does not snag on knitwear.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz formed through a process of pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The original fibers were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. These microscopic, orderly structures are responsible for the cat's-eye effect, or chatoyancy. The most important deposits of this opaque mineral are found in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil.

Care
