Question 1

What is the difference between Red and golden Tiger Eye?

Accepted Answer

Red Tiger Eye is a heat-treated version of the classic golden-brown tiger's eye: the high-temperature treatment causes the iron oxide to recrystallise, giving the stone a deep red or orange-red hue. Its pattern and chatoyancy effect are similar, but its tone is more characterful.

Question 2

Is the red colour of Red Tiger Eye natural?

Accepted Answer

The deep red colour is produced by heat-treating natural golden-brown tiger's eye ore. The stone itself is a natural mineral; the process only modifies the colour and is widely accepted in the stone industry.

Question 3

How do I clean Red Tiger Eye maroccas?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking in water and strong chemicals to preserve the stone's sheen.
