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 engraved pieces. Its distinctive chatoyancy made it highly valued in lapidary work for decorative use. Variegated forms are part of modern mineral and lapidary trade classifications, with historical use referring broadly to tiger’s eye rather than specific named visual variants.
