Tiger Eye - South Africa
This material is blue tigereye from Griqualand West, South Africa. Tigereye is actually a quartz pseudomorph, where the quartz has replaced blue crocidolite fibers. When the replacement is incomplete, the remaining crocidolite fibers give the material a dark blue to greenish-blue hue. All of these pieces are solid high-grade material, and all are at least 1 inch thick. We have pieces that weigh from 1 to 2 pounds.
1+ inches thick:	$15.00/lb (approx. $0.035/g)
This material is the classic golden tigereye from South Africa. All of these pieces are solid high-grade material, and all are at least 1 inch thick. We have pieces that weigh from 1.5 pounds to over 10 pounds. These are perfect for almost any lapidary purpose.
1+ inches thick:	$7.50/lb (approx. $0.025/g)
Slabs (approx. 2 oz. each):	$0.05/g (approx. $2.80 each)

Half-pound lot (6 pieces):	$7.50 (approx. $0.03/g)

Optical Quartz (Rock Crystal)
This material is clear optical quartz (aka rock crystal). These pieces are particularly suitable for carving, but could be used for most any lapidary purpose. Note that this can be used as extremely inexpensive practice faceting rough.
Pieces > 125 grams and < 250 grams:	$0.02 per g (approx. $9/lb.)

NOTE: The images are as close a match as we can get to the color of the material.
