Tiger's eye is a type of quartz. The color of the stone is yellow-brown to brown, striped, and opaque. Locations include Africa, India, Mexico, California, and Australia. Tiger's eye is formed by the selection of black-blue asbestos fibers called crocidolite. This results in solid inclusions of hair-like crystals in the quartz. Due to the oxidation of the original crocidolite fibers, the stone develops gold-glossy limonite fibers. Tiger's eye is named so because the stone has a light reflection that resembles a tiger's eye. This streaked light effect is called chatoyering or the 'cat's eye effect.' When the stone is cut cabochon (rounded), the beautiful cat's eye effect is best visible. The color of the stone gives it its name: the red variety is called Cat's Eye, the blue one is called Hawk's Eye, and the yellow one is called Tiger's Eye (golden yellow, golden brown).
