Description
Microcrystalline quartz that forms as if it were asbestos fibers (pseudomorph) is known as Tiger's eye. It is a quartz replacement of crocidolite (blue asbestos) or of gold asbestos. It differs from cat's eye with respect to the configuration of the fibers; the fibers are twisted or crumpled rather than straight. Its chatoyancy is due to the reflection of light by the fibrous structure.
