Product Description:
Add sleek, powerful elegance with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Black Tiger Eye Faceted Cube Beads Strands. These striking beads feature natural black tiger eye – a dark, dramatic variety of tiger eye prized for its deep gray-black to charcoal and raven tones, often with subtle silvery or golden chatoyancy – a luminous, floating band of light that moves across the surface like a cat's eye. The faceted cube shape offers a modern, geometric silhouette with precision-cut facets that catch and reflect light beautifully from every angle.
Black tiger eye is a naturally occurring dark variety of tiger eye, sometimes called "black hawk's eye." It forms through the same process as golden and blue tiger eye – when crocidolite fibers are replaced by silica – but with a darker base color resulting from higher iron content or different mineral composition. The natural stone is carefully shaped into cube beads – a clean, contemporary shape – then faceted to enhance its natural chatoyancy and silky luster. The beads range from approximately eight to nine millimeters, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest to uniform designs. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

🖤✨ What are Black Tiger Eye Faceted Cube Beads?
These powerful beads feature genuine natural black tiger eye in a modern faceted cube shape.
About Black Tiger Eye:
Black tiger eye is a naturally occurring dark variety of tiger eye, sometimes called "black hawk's eye." Tiger eye is a variety of quartz that forms when crocidolite fibers are replaced by silica, creating a fibrous structure that produces the signature cat's eye effect called chatoyancy. While golden tiger eye has been heat-treated to develop its warm golden-brown color and blue tiger eye remains the natural unheated form, black tiger eye is a distinct dark variety characterized by its deep gray-black to charcoal base with subtle silvery or golden chatoyant bands. This darker coloration results from higher iron content or different mineral composition during formation. Major sources include South Africa, Australia, Brazil, and India.
About the Faceted Cube Shape:
The cube is a modern, geometric bead shape that offers a clean, contemporary look. When faceted, the cube shape creates brilliant sparkle from every angle, making it a popular choice for designers seeking something beyond traditional round beads. The faceted surfaces also enhance the stone's chatoyancy, making the floating light band more visible and dynamic.
Size Range:
These beads range from approximately 8mm to 9mm, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest while maintaining overall uniformity.
Tiger Eye Color Variations:
| Variety | Color | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Tiger Eye | Golden-brown, honey-yellow | Heat-treated |
| Blue Tiger Eye (Hawk's Eye) | Blue-gray, silvery-blue | Natural, unheated |
| Red Tiger Eye | Reddish-brown | Heat-treated |
| Black Tiger Eye | Charcoal, raven black, dark gray | Natural dark variety |
Important Care Reminder:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Black tiger eye is durable, making it suitable for everyday wear.
Perfect for Men's and Grounding Jewelry:
The combination of black tiger eye's powerful, protective energy and modern faceted cube sparkle makes these beads perfect for men's bracelets, grounding designs, gothic and dark aesthetic pieces, and any project needing a bold, elegant, distinctive touch.
