TIGER’S EYE GEMSTONE BEADS (also Tigereye, Tigers eye & Tiger eye)

Tiger's eye is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually yellow- to red-brown, with a silky luster. It is a fibrous silicified crocidolite (blue asbestos), a classic example of pseudomorphous replacement. An incompletely silicified blue variant is called Hawk's eye. A member of the quartz group, its physical and optical properties are identical or very near to those of single-crystal quartz.

The gems are usually cut as cabochons in order to best display their chatoyancy. Red stones are brought about through gentle heat treatment. Honey-colored stones have been used to imitate the much higher valued cat's eye chrysoberyl (cymophane), but the overall effect is unconvincing. Artificial fiberoptic glass is a common imitation of tiger's eye, and is produced in a wide range of colors.

Notable sources of tiger's eye include the USA, Canada, China, Brazil, Namibia, India and Burma.
