It is composed mainly of silicon dioxide and obtains its unique appearance through a process known as pseudomorphism, where the original mineral composition is replaced by a different mineral while retaining its original shape. Tiger's Eye forms when crocidolite, a type of fibrous blue mineral, undergoes this transformation and is replaced by golden-brown to reddish-brown quartz. The resulting stone exhibits a captivating chatoyancy, also known as the "cat's eye effect," characterized by a shimmering band of light that moves across the surface as the stone is rotated.
