Tiger's Eye
Banding in Motion
Tiger's eye is a chatoyant quartz known for moving bands of golden to brown light. The effect gives cabochons a dynamic, almost liquid stripe. It is widely used when a piece needs warmth and strong directional texture.
Cultural Meanings
Tiger's eye appeared in protective adornments in several regions, including Roman-era contexts. Its eye-like sheen encouraged associations with vigilance.
