Geology and formation

Tiger's-eye develops where aligned fibrous material is enclosed, replaced, or pseudomorphosed by silica while preserving a parallel texture. The aligned internal structure produces chatoyancy, and iron-bearing alteration contributes golden to brown coloration.

Family context

Tiger’s eye is a chatoyant quartz-rich lapidary material whose moving band of light is produced by aligned fibrous structures. Golden tiger’s eye, blue tiger’s eye or hawk’s eye, and red tiger’s eye must be treated as distinct variety or trade profiles rather than interchangeable colors.

Identification note:

Color alone does not establish treatment or exact material identity. Tiger iron is a related composite rock and should not automatically inherit a standard tiger’s-eye variety profile. Unusually vivid colors require separate disclosure rather than a new natural variety assumption.
