Description

Here’s a piece of tiger’s eye, a variety of quartz considered a fine stone and generally intended to be polished for jewelry-making.
One side is polished. Beautiful shimmering golden color and bold shine. From deposits in South Africa. A mineral from the collections of the Bally Mineralogical Museum in Schönenwerd, Switzerland (19th century), supplied with its antique label.
