Item Description

the best Tiger's Eye gems in the world come from from South Africa. This beautiful and unique material gets its name from the obvious resemblence to the gold and black stripes of a Tiger, which combined with the chatoyant "Cat's Eye" effect, makes for some inconic stones. These gems are actually a form of Chalcedony which is included by fibrous needels of the Amphibole Riebeckite (var: Crocidolite). This particular gem is a gorgeous Tiger's Eye stone showing brilliant flashes of a rich coppery hue set against a black background. The stone is set into a brass setting, creating a lovely pendant.
