This process, combined with iron oxide staining, produces the characteristic golden-brown colour and silky lustre. The remarkable optical phenomenon known as \u003cstrong\u003echatoyancy\u003c\/strong\u003e — the shifting, silky band of light — is caused by the parallel fibrous inclusions within the stone. Major sources include South Africa, Australia, India, and Namibia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: Quartz (SiO₂) pseudomorph after crocidolite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal system: Trigonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLustre: Silky (chatoyant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparency: Opaque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific gravity: 2.64–2.71\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing traditions, Tiger's Eye is associated with courage, confidence, willpower, and grounded focus — linked to the solar plexus and sacral chakras.
