Blue Tiger's Eye

Many times overlooked, Tiger's Eye is a blending of earth and Sun with warm energies. And, it comes in a variety of colors provided By Mother Earth. Many have been surprised to find the different shades that are available, naturally colored, and not dyed.

Blue Tiger's Eye

Blue Tiger's Eye has a trigonal crystal system, is formed in a
tertiary manner and is in the mineral class of oxide, the Quartz
group. The silky sheen and beautiful shimmers seen in this stone are
created during its formation process.

With Quartz as its base, Crodicolite (asbestos) is trapped within the
crystal. The fibers are generally twisted or crumpled which accounts
for the various patterns. The amount of oxidation that occurs during
its formation determines the coloring. In the blue shades, very little
oxidation has occured and the natural blue coloring of the Crodicolite
prevails.
