Tiger Eye is especially common in South Africa, but can be found in various locations around the world.
Tiger Eye is a fibrous variety of chalcedony that exhibits a property called chatoyancy, which is an optical effect that produces vertical, shimmering bands.
Tiger Eye is a type of quartz, made up of silica. The chatoyancy of the stone is caused by altered amphibole (an inosilicate) fibers that have over time become limonite.
Tiger Eye is thought to benefit many chakras. This stone is often worn to foster courageous, yet grounded decision making and clarity.
As a form of quartz, tiger eye is remarkably durable and resilient. However, it is sensitive to acids in some common household cleaners and solvents. Avoid bleach, ammonia and sulfuric acid. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are generally safe for quartzes, even pseudomorph quartzes, although caution should be used with the steamers due to possibilities of color shifts by heating. Warm water and a mild soap are safe to use. A soft cloth is recommended, although quartz's higher hardness does help it resist minor scratching.
Tiger eye is usually cut in large, smooth shapes (cabochons and flat ovals are popular) in order to enhance the appearance of the cat's eye effect. It's a popular stone in designs for masculine, feminine and unisex jewelry.
The golden color tones of standard tiger eye work surprisingly well in silver settings, the red is gorgeous with both gold and silver and the blue looks stunning in copper.
