TIGER EYE  CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

TIGER'S EYE IS A MINERAL MADE OF SILICON DIOXIDE, ALSO KNOWN AS SILICA, WITH THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION SIO2. IT'S A MEMBER OF THE QUARTZ GROUP AND HAS A HARDNESS OF 7 ON THE MOHS SCALE, MAKING IT A RESILIENT STONE.

TIGER'S EYE IS FORMED WHEN CROCIDOLITE FIBERS FILL THE CRACK AREAS OF A ROCK, CAUSING THE ROCK TO CRACK AGAIN. THE NEW CRACK FILLS IN THE SAME WAY, BUT THE FIBERS ARE SLIGHTLY OFFSET DUE TO THE CRACK SHEAR. THIS PROCESS CREATES BANDS OF QUARTZ WITH DIAGONAL CROCIDOLITE FIBERS, WHICH IS KNOWN AS HAWK'S EYE. WHEN SOME OF THE IRON IN THE CROCIDOLITE OXIDIZES, THE MATERIAL TAKES ON THE BROWN AND GOLD SHADES THAT ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF TIGER'S EYE. RED TIGER'S EYE, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS RED MARKINGS THAT ARE THE RESULT OF IRON OXIDATION WITHIN THE CRYSTAL.
