								is a type of rutile quartz

								eye beads are polished to show their characteristic 
								stripes of pearly luminescence. These are caused 
								by light reflecting off thin parallel inclusions 
								in stoe. Its name comes from the bands 
								that resemble an eye of a tiger.
						
						
						
						
						
								Colours range from a rich 
								golden-yellow to dark-brown, as well as red 
								tiger eye.
