Small African Maroccas – Blue Tiger Eye
Blue Tiger Eye is one of the most visually striking semi-precious stones: deep-blue base tones are crossed by flowing, silky chatoyant bands that seem to shift with every change in light. These small, hand-polished tumbled stones are imported directly from Africa, giving you an authentic piece from fresh mining sources. Every stone is unique – no two are identical – making each one a genuinely individual find.

Characteristics
Blue Tiger Eye is famous for its cat’s-eye effect – a luminous band that appears to glide across the polished surface as the viewing angle changes. Its deep-blue hue combined with silver-grey veining creates an exotic look that complements any natural-stone collection. The smooth, polished surface is pleasant to the touch, whether carried in a pocket, placed on a cushion or displayed on a shelf.
How to Use
Place the tumbled stone in a dish or on a decorative tray as a table centrepiece, carry it in your pocket as an everyday companion stone, or arrange it in a small basket alongside other polished stones. It also makes a wonderful gift: pair it with a note about the stone’s origin and uniqueness for a personal, memorable present.
