Our Extra-Grade Red Tiger Eye Tumbled Stones represent the highest quality of this classic chatoyant gemstone. Sourced from the primary deposits in South Africa, these stones are selected for their deep, consistent mahogany-red color and superior light-reflecting properties.
Optical Phenomena & Quality:
Red Tiger Eye is a variety of quartz that has undergone natural or controlled heating to transform its iron content into a rich reddish-brown hue. These "Extra Grade" specimens are distinguished by their exceptional chatoyancy—the "cat-eye" effect where a silky band of light dances across the surface as the stone is turned. Unlike lower grades, these pieces feature fewer inclusions of dull host rock, ensuring a more uniform and brilliant flash.
Professional Finish:
Each stone has been tumbled to a high-gloss, glass-like finish, making them smooth to the touch and visually striking. Their consistent quality makes them ideal for a variety of professional uses:
- Jewelry & Arts: Perfect for wire-wrapping, pouch sets, or high-end craft projects.
- Display & Decor: Used as premium bowl fillers or as high-contrast accents in mineral collections.
- Education: A textbook example of chatoyancy in the quartz family.
