Tiger Eye Split Necklace from China
Tiger's eye
Tiger's eye is a golden-brown to yellowish quartz-like rock known for its silky luster and distinctive light-reflection effect, also known as chatoyance. This effect results from the fibrous structure of the original mineral crocidolite, which has been replaced by quartz during the silicification process.
Tiger's eye is mainly found in South Africa, Australia, India and Namibia. It is formed by the conversion of amphibole minerals into silica, retaining the original fibre structure. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Well-known variants are falcon eye (bluish) and bull's eye or cat's eye (reddish-brown), created by incomplete or heated conversion, respectively.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
