Tiger's eye is a silicate mineral with a silky luster and chatoyancy, a phenomenon that creates a shimmering, cat's eye effect due to fibrous inclusions. Its geological properties include a Mohs hardness of 7, a trigonal crystal system, and a composition of silicon dioxide (\(SiO_{2}\)) with iron oxide impurities. Its main properties, beyond its appearance, include being a protective and grounding stone, boosting self-confidence, and aiding in mental clarity.
