Tiger's Eye Genuine is made from the brownish-gold stone with rippling bands of light that remind you of cats' eyes.
The gemstone, a member of the quartz family, is geologically stained with dark iron oxide creating the distinctive bands and markings called the chatoyant effect.
The combination of quartz and iron oxide produces a remarkable paint that is very transparent and non-staining, as well as strongly coloured and granulating. The colour is olive drab with undertones of cool ash brown. With great textural effects combined with versatile colour, this will quickly become a staple of your palette.
