What is Tiger’s Eye?

Tiger's Eye Stone

Tiger’s eye, also called tiger eye, is a chatoyant gemstone. It is usually a metamorphic rock with a golden to red-brown color. It also has a silky luster. Tiger’s eye and the blue-colored hawk’s eye are part of the quartz group. They gain their silky, lustrous appearance from the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals. Altered amphibole fibers, mostly turned into limonite, also contribute. (1)

Gems are usually given a cabochon cut to best display their chatoyance. Red stones are developed by gentle heat treatments. Dark stones are artificially lightened to improve color using a nitric acid treatment.[9]

Honey-colored stones have been used to imitate the more valued cat’s eye chrysoberyl, cymophane. However, the overall effect is often unconvincing. Artificial fiber optic glass is a common imitation of tiger’s eye, and is produced in a wide range of colors. (1)
