AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

large AAA Tiger iron sphere

The gloss is highly iridescent when you turn the sphere in different directions.

Tiger's eye (also called tiger eye) is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock with a golden to red-brown color and a silky luster. As members of the quartz group, tiger's eye and the related blue-colored mineral hawk's eye gain their silky, lustrous appearance from the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers that have mostly turned into limonite.

Common sources of tiger's eye include Australia, Burma, India, Namibia, South Africa, the United States, Brazil, Canada, China, Korea, and Spain.


Roman soldiers wore engraved tiger's eye to protect them in battle.




It will be insured up to the maximum limit.
