£ 4.68
Tiger Eye Angel – Pocket Size Natural Crystal Carving (25–40mm)This Tiger Eye angel carving is a finely polished natural mineral specimen,
shaped into a compact angel figure ideal for carrying or display. Measuring approximately 25–40mm, each piece is carefully selected for its rich colour, chatoyant effect, and overall quality. The photo provided shows an example of the specimen you will receive, with each carving displaying unique natural banding and light-reflective features.Mineral Type & CompositionTiger Eye is a variety of quartz (SiO₂), belonging to the trigonal crystal system. It forms through a process known as pseudomorphism, where crocidolite fibres are replaced by silica while retaining their fibrous structure. This results in the distinctive chatoyancy, or “cat’s eye” effect, that Tiger Eye is known for.Geological Formation & Natural OriginTiger Eye forms in metamorphic environments where original fibrous minerals undergo gradual replacement by quartz. During this process, iron oxide is introduced, giving the stone its characteristic golden to brown colouration. The preserved fibrous structure reflects light in a silky, shifting manner, creating the optical effect that defines this material.Colour, Pattern & Optical EffectThis specimen features warm golden-brown tones with bands of darker brown or honey hues. The most notable feature is its chatoyancy, where light appears to move across the surface as the stone is rotated. This effect is enhanced by the polishing process, which reveals the internal fibrous structure and creates a dynamic visual appearance.Angel Carving & CraftsmanshipThe angel figure is carefully carved to highlight both the natural beauty of the Tiger Eye and the fine detail of the design. Features such as wings and body contours are smoothly defined, while the compact size makes it ideal as a pocket piece or small display item. The carving process is completed with a high-quality polish to ensure a refined finish.Surface Finish & TextureThe surface is polished to a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing both the colour depth and the chatoyant effect. Tiger Eye has a hardness of approximately 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for handling while maintaining a polished appearance. Natural variations, including banding and subtle inclusions, are part of the stone’s character.Collecting, Display & GiftingTiger Eye angel carvings are popular among collectors of carved minerals and decorative stone pieces. Their compact size makes them suitable for display on desks, shelves, or within curated collections, as well as for carrying as a pocket stone. The combination of natural mineral beauty and symbolic carving makes this piece a thoughtful and distinctive gift.Traditional Associations & Symbolic ContextIn non-medical contexts, Tiger Eye is traditionally associated with confidence and focus in symbolic or spiritual practices. Angel carvings are often appreciated for their symbolic meaning and aesthetic appeal, making this piece suitable for a wide range of decorative and personal uses.Authenticity & GuaranteeThis crystal is a genuine specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
