Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cat-eye effect mentioned in the description?

This is a natural optical phenomenon called chatoyancy. It occurs when light reflects off parallel fibers within the stone, creating a luminous streak that moves across the surface, resembling the slit pupil of a cat or tiger.

Are these stones suitable for use in jewelry making?

Yes, since these stones are already tumbled and polished, they can be used in jewelry designs such as wire-wrapping or being set into small pouches. Their size of 10mm to 30mm makes them versatile for different accessory styles.

How should I care for these polished tumble stones?

Blue tiger eye is a relatively durable mineral. You can keep them looking their best by avoiding harsh chemicals and cleaning them with a damp cloth if needed. Storing them in a soft pouch will help prevent the polished surfaces from scratching against harder materials.
