Uncommon Blue and Gold Tiger’s Eye chatoyant gemstone fashioned into an oval. The stone’s chatoyance is derived from altering layers of quartz crystals and fibrous forms of riebeckite.
This stone has both layers of blue-grey and gold throughout the stone. The brilliant chatoyance of the gold somewhat over shadows that of the blue-grey.
The provenance of the stone is unknown, since the rough was purchased at a gem show.
The stone is polished to a high glass luster both front and back. The back is flat ready for mounting.
