タイガーズアイ ジュエリー

Tiger's Eye is a distinctive gemstone known for its captivating chatoyancy, a shimmering optical effect that creates golden bands of light resembling a tiger's eye. It is a variety of quartz with colors ranging from golden yellow to reddish-brown, often displaying a silky, lustrous appearance. This unique effect is caused by the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers that have mostly turned into limonite. The most significant deposits of Tiger's Eye are found in South Africa, Australia, and India. In terms of symbolism, Tiger's Eye is often associated with courage, strength, and good fortune. It is believed to enhance self-confidence and help the wearer focus and be determined. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, Tiger's Eye is durable and widely used in jewelry making.
