The tiger's eye beads on this strand feature the signature honey-yellow and brown color banding of this stone. Round beads are a staple of strung designs whether used on their own or complementing other elements in drop or dangle earrings, bracelets or necklaces. These beads look great with silver findings, but work especially well with yellow gold. Tiger’s eye is a pseudomorph variety of macrocrystalline quartz. The gem begins as fibrous crocidolite, a gray/blue silicate mineral; quartz becomes embedded between the fibers, eventually replacing the crocidolite entirely. The colors displayed in tiger's eye result from the levels of iron oxide in the quartz; higher levels produce the golden brown hues characteristic of tiger's eye. Because the quartz maintains the fibrous structure of the crocidolite, the gemstone remains banded. When properly cut and polished, the chatoyancy becomes clearly visible. Revered and feared as a talisman, tiger's eye has been reputed to impart an "all-seeing eye" to those who wear it. Each package contains one temporarily-strung 15"-16" strand.
