Tiger Eye Tumbled Stone - 20-40 mm
Product Description
This Tiger Eye Tumbled Stone is a polished, golden-brown quartz piece carrying the silky moving light band (chatoyancy) that defines the stone. Colour runs from warm gold to deep chestnut brown, and the chatoyant sheen sweeps across the surface as it turns. Smooth and palm-sized, these run a little larger and feel solid in the hand.
Tiger Eye is traditionally carried for confidence, willpower, and protection, with a long reputation as a stone of courage. People keep it close during challenges, set it on a desk, or hold it when steadiness and focus are needed. Its mix of grounding and motivating associations makes the Tiger Eye a reliable everyday companion.
Each Tiger Eye is a natural stone, differing in colour, banding, and the strength of its chatoyant flash, so your piece will be one of a kind.

Geological Information
Tiger Eye is a chalcedony variety of quartz, formed as a silicon dioxide pseudomorph after crocidolite, with a Mohs hardness of 7. Its golden-brown bands and silky cat's-eye sheen, called chatoyancy, arise as silica replaces parallel crocidolite fibres while keeping their alignment, so light reflecting along the fibres produces the moving band. That replacement is complete, leaving the fibres fully converted to silica, so Tiger Eye is safe to handle. Roman soldiers reputedly carried it as a protective talisman. Sources include South Africa, India, Australia, the United States, and Brazil.
