Tiger Eye

Geposted von Andrea Alexandra am

Tiger's Eye Gemstone
Tiger’s eye is a metamorphic rock with a lustrous appearance; when moved in light, tiger eye gemstones often display chatoyance.
 
Chatoyance or Chatoyancy aka cat’s eye is a banded perpendicular optical reflective effect caused by the fibrous structure of inclusions and cavities within the mineral.
