Learn About Tiger Eye

Tiger eye is a chatoyant gemstone known for its golden to reddish-brown color and silky luster. It is formed through the alteration of crocidolite fibers within quartz, resulting in the characteristic banded appearance and shimmering effect known as chatoyancy. This process occurs through the replacement of crocidolite by silica, creating parallel fibers that reflect light in a unique way. Tiger eye is primarily mined in countries such as South Africa, Australia, India, and the United States. These regions are known for their deposits of the precursor mineral crocidolite, which undergoes transformation into tiger's eye through geological processes over time.

Blue tiger eye, also known as hawk's eye, is a rare variety of tiger eye that exhibits a blue-gray coloration instead of the traditional golden to reddish-brown hues. The blue color in hawk's eye is caused by the presence of iron within the mineral fibers, which undergo a process called pseudomorphism. This occurs when the original crocidolite fibers in tiger's eye are replaced by quartz during the formation process, resulting in the blue coloration. There is also red tiger eye that is sometimes heat treated, but it also occurs naturally. We hope to bring you more of these other types in the near future.
