What Is Tiger Eye?
Tiger eye is a chatoyant gemstone, meaning it displays a luminous band of light that moves across its surface—like a cat's eye. This mesmerizing effect, combined with its rich golden-brown color, makes tiger eye one of the most recognizable and sought-after crystals.
The Chatoyancy Effect
The silky, luminous appearance of tiger eye comes from the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers. When polished, this creates the distinctive "cat's eye" effect that seems to move as you rotate the stone.
