Tiger's eye is a golden to brown stone, striped with yellow-gold strands. There is also a blue variety of tiger's eye (sometimes called hawk's eye). It's mined in South Africa, southeast Asia, Brazil, Australia, and the US.
Minerals.net describes the fascinating formation of tiger's eye:
"Tiger's Eye forms when Quartz forms over existing bluish-gray Crocidolite, and eventually entirely replaces it. Crocidolite is a type of asbestos mineral, which means its composition is of fine, dense fibers. These fibers form in a parallel yet wavy orientation, and this causes the intriguing chatoyant effect [reflected bands of light] exhibited in Tiger's Eye. During the replacement process, the iron within the Crocidolite dissolves and stains the Quartz, thereby providing the golden yellow to brown color of the Tiger's Eye."
As we covered in last week's Medicinal Jewelry blog, quartz has an incredible structure that grants it interesting powers. Here's a quick reminder:

Quartz molecules are composed of silicon and oxygen arranged in tetrahedrons. These tetrahedrons connect at the corners to form a helix with a hollow central column. The top view of this structure is one of the most revered shapes in sacred geometry.
