A kind of jasper with shells or coral embedded in the sedimentary rock. It is these shells or coral that give this stone its distinctive patterns making no two stones the same.

A consolidated sedimentary rock of biochemical origin mainly composed of the mineral calcite often including some phosphate in the form of seashells or coral.

The stone forms near the shore where wave action is vigorous and sorts the sediments well. Jasper has such a distinctly grainy structure compared to other forms of chalcedony that some scientists even put jasper into its own individual group within the quartz family.

The gemstone is found in several places around the world, however much of it comes from Rajasthan, India. The stone formed there hundreds of years ago when water surrounded the area.

History Of Tigers Eye
Look into the eye of a magnificent tiger. That creatures animal magnetism gleams in this golden-yellow, deeply banded gemstone. Tigereye (also called "tigers eye stone") is silicified crocidolite in quartz. When its cut into shapes, that iridescent undulating luster (also called chatoyancy) is as hypnotic as the eye of a tiger.

Lower levels of iron during the stones formation can result in stones with a blue tinge. Maroon forms of tigereye are almost always dyed or heated to create or enhance that shade. Nitric acid is sometimes used to lighten or brighten specimens which are too dark.

The eye of the tiger gleams in iridescent splendor. It is more than the thrill of a fight--it is clear-sighted vision to see past survival.



Metaphysical Properties
All you have to do to know the spiritual value of tigereye is think of its name. Tigereye promotes clear-eyed vision, helping us see ourselves and the world better. Like the great cat its named for, this gemstone knows the importance of being attentive to the details. Tigereye is said to combine earth energy with light or sun energy, creating an intense stone thats also well-grounded. Tigereye is said to enhance psychic and empathic energies, while protecting its wearer with an unblinking eye. For that reason its also commonly used to ease the eyes through meditation, physical placement on closed lids or other methods. Tigereye is thought to remind you to stop, look and listen before you do any leaping.

Different colors are believed to have slightly different effects. Blue tigereye is thought to alleviate and release stress; gold tigereye is said to encourage attention to detail; finally, some practitioners apply red tigereye to overcome lethargy of the body, mind and/or spirit.


Geological Properties
Tigereye is created when quartz forms over crocidolite--a material of fine, bundled fibers similar to asbestos. (Yes, really!) These are what create the stones distinctive chatoyant effect. As the quartz layers over and replaces the crocidolite, the iron within it dissolves and stains the quartz, resulting in the golds and browns of standard tigereye. It is a pseudomorph of quartz: a form of quartz which has transformed from its original state.

Tigereye also occurs within or next to a matrix of metallic grey hematite and red jasper, creating the stone we call tiger iron.

Tigereye is found in a range of locations: South Africa, Namibia, Australia, India and Thailand.
