7.25 Ct. Cabochon Tiger's Eye from South Africa

This listing describes one beautiful opaque 7.25 carat oval golden brown tiger's eye, measuring 17.87 by 13.20 by 4.26 mm, cut as a cabochon, with an excellent polish. The clarity is graded opaque when evaluated at eye level, and the color intensity is not applicable for this material. There has been no enhancement to this specimen, and the stone is sourced from South Africa. The proportions and gentle dome of the cabochon emphasize the characteristic chatoyant banding of tiger's eye, yielding a smooth, linear shimmer that travels across the surface as the stone is tilted under direct light.

The appearance is well suited to classic and contemporary settings, and the stone will perform particularly well in bezel and secure prong mounts where the polished dome can be protected and displayed. Due to its opacity and chatoyancy, this tiger's eye is most effective when presented with ample light to reveal the silky banding, and it pairs effectively with warm metals such as yellow gold and brass, as well as contrasting cool metals for a striking effect. Care is straightforward, avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids and harsh abrasives, clean with mild soap and warm water, and dry with a soft cloth. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this item as part of a curated selection of natural material specimens, documented for origin and enhancement status, and suitable for jewelry fabricators and collectors seeking stable, untreated tiger's eye with classic golden brown tones.
