Is red tiger eye natural or dyed?
Red Tiger Eye, also known as Dragon’s Eye, is Tiger Eye with red shades and hues. This mineral can form naturally due to natural oxidation, but is very rare. Most Red Tiger Eye on the market has been heat-treated to give it a reddish appearance. It shares the same energies and properties of normal Tiger Eye.
How is red tiger's eye made?
It is formed by the alteration of crocidolite. Serpentine deposits in which are occasionally found chatoyant bands of chrysotile fibres have been found in the US states of Arizona and California. These have been cut and sold as “Arizona tiger-eye” and “California tiger’s eye” gemstones.
