Tiger's Eye
A member of the quartz family, this stone has a fibrous structure with inclusions of the rock-forming mineral crocidolite embedded in quartz in highly packed bands, this causes a 'cat's-eye' effect known as chatoyancy. Each stone displays different colours according to the exact nature of the inclusions. Tigers eye comes in brown/gold, blue/black (hawk's-eye) and red but most red tigers-eye available today has been heat treated. Most tigers-eye is found in South Africa, where it is found in thick slabs, together with the less common hawk's-eye.
The quartz cat's-eye has a greyish-yellow, semi-translucent appearance due to inclusions of crocidolite and, less commonly hornblende. It has a silky lustre and can be found in Sri Lanka, India and Brazil.
Tiger's eye is said to -
- be a protective stone
- assist in accomplishing goals
- be useful for recognizing the needs of other people as well as your own
- help heal personality disorders, issues of self-worth, self-criticism & blocked creativity
