Tiger’s eye ring, size 17
Tiger's Eye Ring Size 17
A monolith of tiger's eye in size 17 - a stone from Brazil from which the entire band was cut in one piece. Its brown-and-gold color contains honey tones, more pronounced in sunlight; beneath them, the mineral's fibers create a bright, shifting band of light, the hallmark of tiger's eye. The raised, polished surface feels pleasant to the touch. A simple, undecorated band for everyday wear, including while working at a computer.

About the stone
Tiger's eye is a special variety of quartz formed through a process of pseudomorphosis after fibrous crocidolite. The mineral's original fibers were replaced by silica while retaining their parallel arrangement. These microscopic fibers are responsible for the cat's-eye effect, or chatoyancy - the characteristic band that shifts as the stone is rotated. The main deposits of this mineral are located in South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Learn more in the article Tiger's Eye - Properties and History on our blog.
Care
A tiger's eye ring only needs to be rinsed with lukewarm water and wiped with a soft cloth, avoiding strong detergents. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
