Historical Lore

Tiger’s eye is a metamorphic quartz formed through the alteration of crocidolite, primarily sourced in South Africa and Western Australia. It has been used since antiquity in carved ornamental objects and jewellery, including Roman-era amulets and decorative pieces. Its distinctive chatoyancy made it highly valued in lapidary traditions for decorative carving and ornamentation. Red tiger’s eye is a naturally heated or iron-enriched variant that appears less frequently than the classic golden form and is primarily traded in modern mineral and lapidary markets.
