Physical properties

Hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, golden-brown to multicolored hues due to artificial dyeing, silky luster, and distinct chatoyant optical effect.

Formed when quartz pseudomorphs over crocidolite asbestos, subsequently cut and dyed into polished beads in global manufacturing centers.

Widely used in jewelry making, beadwork, and ornamental crafts for its striking chatoyancy and colorful appearance.

Natural tiger's eye is golden-brown, but it is frequently heat-treated or acid-dyed to produce vibrant blue, green, red, and yellow bead varieties.

Identified by its signature moving band of light (chatoyancy) and spherical drilled shape; commonly sourced from South Africa and Australia.
