What is a Tiger Eye Stone?
Tiger eye is a gemstone (formerly known as a "semi-precious stone"), a shimmering variety of quartz with a fascinating golden color that plays with light due to oxidized crocidolite fibers. Cut into cabochon and sometimes slightly faceted to enhance its golden reflections, this stone is appreciated in jewelry for its uniqueness at a reasonable cost. The largest deposits are found in South Africa, but it can also be found in India, Myanmar, Western Australia, and in small quantities in the United States. In addition to its aesthetic use, tiger eye is also considered a protective stone that brings self-confidence and courage. Its hardness is rated at 7 on the Mohs scale.
