I've been a rockhound for year's. I've never ever seen fake tygerseye. It's so cheap so common no one would fake that stone it's no expensive at all. Now malachite is faked. But way i see it if you can't tell it's real just by looking you shouldn't be buying them in the first place.
I agree, that heating Tiger Eye (or any stone for that matter) might not be the initial most practical way to test it's realness. Before subjecting a stone to any destructive test it is much easier to simply examine the stone with a loupe or inexpensive microscope; 'heat' doesn't necessarily emphasize temperature, to which stone will react differently. Quartz for instance when heated and rapidly cooled will crackle, while other stones might pop or suffer no damage at all. UV light will reveal dyes, and unless the stone is expected to be absolutely opaque it is easy to distinguish banding,fractures and inclusions from say, bubbles (i.e. glass or resin). Moreover heating can release noxious fumes you probably don't want to smell or breathe, esp. if and when the bead is fake.
@@jjbentley9 Just a thing or two...I'm no geologist or gemologist, but I do experiment myself. And by the way I should've mentioned at the top that gemstones are COLD to the touch. Of course the bead will warm as long as you handle it, conversely, glass conducts heat much faster and cools much slower. Get a real fake stone bead and test this for yourself against a real gemstone bead.
Tigers eye is a relatively cheap gemstone that's why most people don't even bother making fakes... but as a word of advice, no two tigers eye pieces should look exactly the same, each piece should look unique... if the colors and the chatoyancy of your stones are exactly the same, then they are fake/man-made.

No colour change
It should be turned into Red tiger eye when heated
Prathmesh Mayekar Thanks Your Comment...

Same as glass :)
I don't want to do any damage to my tiger eye. Is there not another way to prove if it's real or not?
Yes magnet nd cats eye effects nd genuine lab test certificate
test with a magnet if it sticks to it it's real :))
@@universesflowers6404 ahh makes sense, due to the iron content
Where to buy this one
You don't need this terrible music
I wear one tiger eye braclet but some beads have some scratches it is real or fake
That depends...on what scratched the bead, since Tiger Eye has a hardness from 6.5 to 7, many beads all together of could scratch each other.
