Tiger's Eye is usually a yellow-brown stone formed from seams of fibrous asbestos which through the ages have been transformed into quartz. Its unique silky reflections, called chatoyancy, are caused by light bouncing back from the asbestos filaments.
Unknown to the ancients, tiger's eye is a relatively recent discovery found in workable quantities only in South Africa. It is thought to help eliminate the "blues" and to bring optimism to the user.
Red tiger's eye is said to teach us to be energetic in a very composed and serene way.
