🌍 Where Does Tiger’s Eye Come From? Tiger’s Eye is a variety of quartz primarily found in South Africa, Western Australia, India, and Thailand. It forms when crocidolite fibers are replaced by silica, creating its signature chatoyancy — a silky luster that looks like a moving band of light, similar to a cat’s eye.

💎 What Makes Tiger’s Eye Valuable? Unlike diamonds or emeralds, Tiger’s Eye isn’t measured by clarity or brilliance, but by:

• Color richness – Deep golden to reddish-brown tones are most desirable
• Minimal cracks or inclusions
• Luster and polish quality

Though it's a semi-precious stone, high-quality tiger’s eye is highly prized in artisan jewelry, especially when paired with gold or silver settings.
