The earth can be a source of great beauty, and geologic forces produce some amazing forms, textures, and colors. When sliced very thin and viewed under a microscope, minerals can rival the artwork hanging in any museum. Tiger’s Eye is a popular gemstone, usually metamorphic, and composed of quartz in a finely fibrous form. Under the microscope you can see the finely-textured quartz and altered amphibole fibers.
