This is a wonderful gold Tiger’s Eye cabochon! Tiger’s eye is a popular decorative stone because of its strong chatoyance! The chatoyance is caused by subparallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers. This is a Square shaped Cabochon cut. It is natural and untreated! Cut at Kosnar Gems, Colorado, USA.  Enjoy!
