Mineral Profile

Red Tiger Eye is a red to red-brown chatoyant quartz-rich trade material in the tiger's-eye family. Commercial red material is commonly produced by gentle heating of golden tiger's-eye, but treatment remains product-specific. This profile does not establish that a particular stone is naturally red, heat-treated, untreated, authentic, or from a documented locality.

Geology and formation

Tiger's-eye develops where aligned fibrous material is enclosed, replaced, or pseudomorphosed by silica while preserving a parallel texture that produces chatoyancy. Red commercial color is commonly developed through gentle heating, although the treatment of any particular product requires disclosure or testing.

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.

Safety and handling

Cutting, grinding, drilling, sanding, or crushing can generate hazardous crystalline-silica and mineral dust and requires professional controls.
