Tiger's Eye sphere, a gemstone comprising quartz, limonite and riebeckite, weighing 1218 g and 90 mm in size, originating from South Africa.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tiger’s Eye is a mix of several minerals: Quartz, Limonite, and Riebeckite (crocidolite), although, commonly, it is associated within the quartz family.
The “eye” effect is due to parallel growth of amphibole fibers (Riebeckite) and the yellow-brown color comes from the oxidation of those fibers to limonite.

The photographs aim to be as true to reality as possible and were taken with natural light.
The measurements of each sphere are approximate.
The color, lighting, and contrast depend on the platform where the images are viewed.
It is shipped well-packaged and securely.
