What is Tiger Eye Stone?
Tiger Eye is a popular semi-precious gemstone known for its unique golden to reddish-brown color and striking, silky luster. It is a member of the quartz family and exhibits a special optical phenomenon called 'chatoyancy', which gives it a reflective, cat's-eye effect. This occurs due to the parallel fibrous structures of crocidolite (a form of asbestos) within the stone that have been replaced by quartz over time. Key Characteristics:- Color - Varies from golden yellow to deep brown, with characteristic light reflection.
- Hardness - 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable.
- Chatoyancy - The eye-like, shifting light effect is its most distinguishing feature.
- Composition - Primarily silicon dioxide (quartz) with iron impurities that give it the golden-brown hue.
