About the stone
Tiger's eye is a distinctive variety of quartz formed through pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The original fibers of this mineral were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. This microscopic structure is responsible for the cat's-eye effect, known as chatoyancy. The most important deposits of this opaque mineral with a silky sheen are found in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Learn more in the article Tiger's Eye — Properties and History on our blog.
Care
Clean tiger's eye with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces to prevent damage to the solid band. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
