Golden Tiger's Eye Tea Infuser with Raw Crystal
Tiger's eye is one of the most distinctive light-effect stones: its golden-brown bands produce a silky, shifting glow — a phenomenon known in geology as chatoyance (the cat's eye effect). This tea infuser pairs a premium stainless steel mesh basket with a raw golden tiger's eye charm on a delicate chain. Perfect for those seeking a characterful, warm natural table accent and a practical kitchen accessory all in one.

Characteristics
Golden tiger's eye is a yellow-brown, fibrous variety of quartz whose parallel fibres create a silky light effect. The chatoyance is best seen in motion — as the stone turns, a band of light sweeps across its surface. The raw charm is unpolished, presented in its genuine natural form.
How to Use
Fill the mesh basket with loose-leaf tea, place it over your mug and pour hot water. After steeping, lift out the basket using the chain. Rinse under running water and wipe the tiger's eye charm with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking.
Why Choose This?
The Golden Tiger's Eye Tea Infuser is a characterful gift and table accent — especially for those drawn to the natural drama and warm golden-brown tones of tiger's eye. The chatoyance effect always surprises: the stone shows a different play of light from every angle. A unisex piece that appeals to a wide range of tastes.
Tips
- Pairs beautifully with warm, golden-toned teas such as chamomile, wildflower, or rooibos.
- The chatoyance is most striking when lit from a single direction — experiment with different light angles.
- Displayed on a sunny windowsill, the stone's unique light play really comes into its own.
