A polished slab in natural tiger's eye colour, untreated.
Worth knowing what that rules out. Red tiger's eye is not a separate variety found in the ground; it is ordinary tiger's eye that has been gently heated until the iron in it changes colour. Stones that come out too dark are lightened with nitric acid. Both are routine, both are usually sold without mention, and neither has been done here.
The colour on this slab is the colour it came out of the rock with.
Mineral: Tiger's eye (a variety name, not an IMA species), quartz (SiO₂) with fibrous riebeckite (crocidolite)
Crystal system: Trigonal
Origin: Northern Cape, South Africa
Hardness: 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale; durable, though the polished face dulls if knocked about
Treatment: None to the stone. Resin stabiliser applied around the edges
Dimensions: 7.8 x 1.28 x 27 cm
Weight: 555 g
Note: Do not cut, grind or sand it. The fibres running through tiger's eye are crocidolite, locked into the quartz and inert in a finished slab, but power tools release them as dust.
