8mm Green Tiger Eye Bead Strand

Dark beads flash slate and honey brown when the light catches them.

This is a strand of 8mm green tiger eye beads. Tiger eye is a quartz that contains fibrous inclusions, and its silky play of light, called chatoyancy, is most familiar in golden brown stones. Strand of round polished beads in deep gray-green and black, each showing a shifting streak of gold-brown. A thin brown cord threads through them, ending in long, loosely twisted tails.

Understated until the light hits, then it's all show.
