Tiger’s Eye gemstones are found in two main color variations, red and yellow, that swirl with dark brown to create a natural marbled finish called chatoyancy. Geologically, chatoyant gemstones are formed from fibrous quartz minerals.

In jewelry design, gold toned metals compliment Tiger’s Eye better than silver. Yellow Tiger’s Eye looks great with yellow-toned gemstones like Citrine and Gold Rutilated Quartz. Hematite and bronzite, coordinate best with Red Tiger’s Eye. Black stones like Black Obsidian and Onyx look stunning with both variations of Tiger’s Eye. 

Tiger’s Eye is often found in India, Australia, and Africa. This crystal was believed to be one of the most prized possessions in Ancient Egypt and was worn by warriors as a stone of protection. Tiger’s Eye was named for its resemblance to the dark, marbled golden eye color of tigers and other cats.

In the metaphysical community, Tiger’s Eye is said to be a motivational stone that boosts personal empowerment. Many believe that Tiger’s Eye holds healing properties that enhance our courage, confidence, and resilience.
