Tiger's eye is famed for its remarkable
chatoyancy and its attractive golden brown colors. It is closely related to
hawk's eye and pietasite, both of which exhibit similar chatoyancy. Tiger's eye
is actually formed from hawk's eye. During the pseudomorph transformation
process, materials that contain more iron oxide result in brownish tiger's eye;
less oxidation and less iron tends toward the original blue color of
crocidolite. Technically, the term pietasite may be used to describe any
brecciated tiger's eye or hawk's eye. Brecciated stones are rocks which are
composed of materials that have been broken apart, swirled around, and then
later reformed and cemented together by quartz or another type of host or
matrix material. This results in a more chaotic chatoyancy, rather than the
linear chatoyancy of regular hawk's eye and tiger's eye.
