Origin. Today most tiger's eye is found in South Africa. Other deposits may be found in Australia, India, Nambia, and the United States.

Tiger’s Eye is famous for chatoyancy—a silky, moving band of light that mimics the eye of a cat or tiger as the stone shifts in the light. While usually cut into smooth, curved cabochons to showcase this sheen, faceting carves tiny flat windows into the surface, causing the shimmer to splinter and flash across multiple angles instead of rolling in a single stripe

Ranking 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale with a tight trigonal crystal structure, Tiger's Eye is tough enough for everyday jewelry like rings or matched earring pairs
