Information: Tiger Eye a popular yet inexpensive gemstone, is a pseudo morph of compact Quartz after the fibrous mineral Crocidolite. It is formed when the Quartz takes over and dissolves the Crocodolite, leaving the Quartz in a finely fibrous and chatoyant form. When polished, its silky luster creates a beautiful chatoyant effect of moving layers of brown and yellow lines and waves.
