Tiger's eye is a variety of quartz of yellow, brown, red color. It presents an alternation of levels of quartz and amphibole altered mainly in limonite, hence the yellow color. The presence of acicular minerals that are isooriented parallel to each other gives rise to a particular optical effect known as chatoyancy. The wavy and contrasting bands of color and luster create particular patterns that make it widely used for jewelry and ornaments.
