Medium African Tumble Stone - Red Tiger's Eye
Red Tiger's Eye is a heat-treated variant of the classic golden-brown tiger's eye, whose deep red, fiery tone immediately catches the eye. This medium-sized polished tumble stone is truly eye-catching: the silky parallel fibres create a particularly striking cat's eye effect on the red base. According to the supplier's data, the stone originates from South Africa.

Characteristics
Red Tiger's Eye displays deep red and orange-red shades, made even more distinctive by the silky fibres running through it.

How to Use
The Red Tiger's Eye medium tumble stone is an excellent decorative piece placed on a desk, shelf, or within a crystal collection. Its reddish tone pairs especially well with warm-coloured interiors. Wrapped as a gift, it is an elegant and thoughtful gesture that anyone will appreciate.
Why Choose This?
Red Tiger's Eye is rarer and more striking than the common golden-brown variety. It is traditionally associated with passion, energy and determination. If you want something more characterful for your collection, Red Tiger's Eye is one of the best choices among African tumble stones.
Tips
- Place it in natural light – in sunlight the red tones and silky fibres really come into their own.
- Group it with other warm-toned stones (jasper, red agate) for a stunning display.
- Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed.
- Smaller pieces are ideal as small accents in a trinket box or display tray.
