Description: Tiger’s Eye is a chatoyant (shimmering) variety of quartz (SiO₂) with golden-brown to reddish hues, known for its silky luster and mesmerizing, wavy light reflection. This effect, called chatoyancy, occurs due to fibrous inclusions of crocidolite (blue asbestos) that have been replaced by silica over time, forming a parallel structure that reflects light in a striking way. Ancient Roman soldiers would carry tiger’s eye into battle, believing it would bring strength and focus.
