Tiger's Eye is part of the quartz family and a consistently popular gem for jewelry making—readily available, inexpensive, and durable enough for everyday wear. Its most prized characteristic is chatoyancy, the striking optical phenomenon sometimes called the "All-seeing Eye." When light reflects across the gem's fibrous silky structure, a luminous, wavy eye-like band appears to glide across the surface. These pear-shaped cabochons display the warm, earthy tones Tiger's Eye is known for—ranging from yellowish-brown to rich reddish-brown—making them a versatile choice for pendants, rings, earrings, and custom metalwork.
Available in a wide range of sizes, from petite 6x4mm stones to generous 25x18mm cabochons, these untreated gems are well-suited for production jewelry and one-of-a-kind pieces alike. Sold individually.
