TIGER EYE - Anima Mundi Crystals

TIGER EYE

This wonderful stone Tiger Eye or The Amulet Stone is a formation trough oxidation of original crocidolite fibers and its transformation in limonite with quartz. Its silky shine that the limonite fibers generate in a round cut to the stone resemblance an eye and so we have the name of a stone used in the Medieval time for protection.

WHAT IS TIGER EYE:

Tiger's eye is formed when parallel veins of crocidolite (blue asbestos) fibres are first altered to iron oxides and then replaced by silica.
As a result it is more opaque, and has a rich yellow to brown colour. When cut en cabochon, the gem has a fine lustre.
The major source of Tiger's Eye is Griquatown West, in South Africa.
