Tiger's Eye: Metamorphic Origins Explained

Tiger’s Eye is a metamorphic rock — born from heat, pressure, and the slow replacement of one mineral by another. This video explains how blue crocidolite asbestos was transformed as quartz filled the original fibers and iron oxidized them into gold and brown. The result is the shimmering chatoyancy that makes Tiger’s Eye instantly recognizable. You’ll learn how metamorphism reshapes existing minerals, why fiber structure is key to Tiger’s Eye’s optical effect, and how this rock became one of the clearest natural examples of mineral transformation. This is the third rock in my 5 Rough Rocks: 5 Stunning Transformations series, tracing each specimen from raw geology to polished reveal. 📺 Watch Next 👉 Grande Finale Geology Explainer for 5 Rough Rocks (   • How Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic Roc...  ) 👉 Polishing 5 Rough Rocks: Grand Finale (   • Polishing 5 Rough Rocks: Grand Finale  ) 👉 5 Rough Rocks: 5 Stunning Transformations (   • 5 Rough Rocks: 5 Stunning Transformations  ) 👉Red Jasper — Full Geology Explainer (   • Brecciated Red Jasper: Healed by Silica  ) 👉Sodalite — Full Geology Explainer (   • Why Sodalite is Blue... And Why it Glows  ) 👉 Tiger’s Eye — Full Geology Explainer Video (   • Tiger's Eye: Metamorphic Origins Explained  ) 👉 Carnelian Agate — Full Geology Explainer (   • Carnelian Agate: Why It Fractured  ) 👉 Apache Tears — Full Geology Explainer (   • What Are Apache Tears? Volcanic Glass Expl...  ) 🎬 Photo & Video Credits Most rock photography and all tumbling footage filmed by me.
