Yellow Glass?

Here is today's photo.

 

Yellow Glass

Part of the focus is blurred, but is it a yellowish glassy quality?

 


There are vertical streaks.

 


The surface has some scratches.

 


It seems like something unfamiliar.

 


Now, if you look at it in one size

It is a beautifully polished stone for souvenirs.

 


My name is Tigereye. It is also called tiger eye stone.

 


"The reason why tiger's eye looks like a tiger's eye is because an effect called 'cat's eye effect (chatoyancy)' occurs. The cat's eye effect is an effect in which "vertical light streaks" can be seen like a cat's eyes when exposed to strong light.

The conditions for the cat's eye effect to occur are found in minerals that contain inclusions arranged in fine needles. Parallel cabochon cuts in minerals with this inclusion produce a cat's eye effect. When you look at the tiger's eye, which has a particularly strong cat's eye effect, you will be attracted by its strong charm that will involuntarily draw you in. ”

 


I remember buying it as a souvenir at a stone shop somewhere.

 


I think it was about 300 yen.

 


Stones never deteriorate, so you can enjoy them for a long time.

 


As always, here are the gadgets.
