Collection: Tiger Eye

Tiger eye is quartz containing fine, parallel fibres that create a silky band of light that moves as the stone turns. Its golden brown colour comes from iron, and South Africa's Northern Cape is the main source.

Varieties and Trade Names

Blue tiger eye, also called hawk's eye, keeps the original blue-grey colour of the fibres. Red tiger eye is usually golden tiger eye that has been heated. Tiger iron is a banded mix of tiger eye, red jasper and hematite.
