 Tiger's eye Beads & Genstones

Return To Gem Stones & Semi-Precious Stone

Tiger's eye is a chatoyant gemstone.

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