C&S - Tiger Eye - Genuine

Exotic, honey-tinged color is only one of the charms of Tiger’s Eye.

The most important deposits are found in South Africa, though tiger's eye is also found in Western Australia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India and the United States. As an eco-toned color, the richness of Tiger’s Eye is certain to satisfy fashion-conscious consumers who desire chocolate and honey hues as accents to their favorite styles.
