Tiger's Eye is a fascinating mineral that belongs to the microcrystalline quartz family. Tiger's Eye is distinguished by its shimmering appearance and golden to brownish color, due to the presence of fibers that have been replaced by silica over time, a process known as pseudomorphosis. The formation of Tiger's Eye is generally associated with metamorphic environments where the initial crocidolite undergoes a chemical transformation. This process often occurs under moderate temperature and pressure conditions, allowing silica to gradually replace the asbestos fibers without altering their arrangement. Tiger's Eye is widely used in jewelry and decorative objects. Its hardiness and distinctive luster make it a popular choice for mineral enthusiasts and collectors. For mineralogy enthusiasts, Tiger's Eye represents a fascinating example of how geological processes can transform common materials into gemstones of great aesthetic value.
