Tiger Eye Mix Rough
Tiger
Eye has long been considered a quartz replacement of asbestos, otherwise known
as a pseudomorph. The asbestos is gone, so it's harmless to cut. However,
new research into the origins of tiger eye shows tiger eye is actually not a pseudomorph.
The fibrous structure of tiger eye creates chatoyance and also gives it
a definite grain structure. So, you have to be careful that it doesn't tear out
when grinding and polishing. Polish with cerium oxide, tin oxide, or diamond.
I prefer diamond for polishing tiger eye. Mohs hardness 7.
Tiger Eye Mix Rough
These pieces come in five different thicknesses and are a mix of Blue Streak, Golden, Hawkseye and Landscape Tiger Eyes.
