Tiger Eye Slabs
Heat Treated
Tiger Eye, Golden Tiger Eye
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.
