✦ Understanding Tiger's Eye

What Is Tiger's Eye?

Tiger's Eye is a naturally formed metamorphic gemstone composed primarily of silica (quartz) and crocidolite asbestos. Over millions of years, the crocidolite is fully replaced by quartz, leaving behind unique fibrous structures that create its stunning "cat's eye effect" — as if a tiger's eye is gazing back at you.

With a Mohs hardness of 6.5-7, it's durable enough for everyday wear. Each piece of Tiger's Eye is one-of-a-kind, with golden and brown hues interweaving like tiger stripes — which is exactly how it got its name.
