The Colors of Tigers Eye

Golden Tigers Eye Ball


Someone was recently asking me about the types of Tigers Eye. Tigers Eye is a form of Quartz with fibers that are bent and crumpled, thus giving the stone its chatoyance (cat's eye like shine). You will find Golden Tigers Eye which show colors from deep brown to golden yellow.

There is Blue Tigers Eye which is a very deep Navy Blue. There is Black Tigers Eye which actually may be blue but is so dark that it looks black! There is Red Tigers Eye which has a reddish brown tone.  

Whatever the color, Tigers Eye brings a mesmerizing optical illusion and helps us in grounding and confidence.
