Product Description:
Add rich, royal blue elegance with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Lapis Lazuli Blue Color Tiger Eye Faceted Cube Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural tiger eye that has been professionally dyed and heated to achieve a deep, vibrant lapis lazuli blue hue – ranging from royal blue and ultramarine to navy and deep azure, while retaining the stone's signature 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.
Tiger eye is a variety of quartz prized for its fibrous structure and chatoyant optical effect. The natural golden-brown tiger eye has been professionally color-enhanced to create this rich lapis blue coloration through a stable dyeing and heating process. 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.
Important Disclosure: These beads are dyed and heated – the lapis lazuli blue color is not natural. They begin as natural golden-brown tiger eye and are professionally color-enhanced to achieve the rich blue hue. This process is permanent and stable, but the color is man-made. The stone's natural chatoyancy is preserved.

💙✨ What are Lapis Lazuli Blue Color Tiger Eye Faceted Cube Beads?
These striking beads feature genuine natural tiger eye that has been professionally dyed and heated to achieve a rich lapis blue color, in a modern faceted cube shape.
About Lapis Blue Tiger 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. Natural tiger eye typically displays golden-brown to honey-yellow colors. Through a professional dyeing and heating process, the stone is color-enhanced to achieve vibrant lapis lazuli blue hues while preserving the stone's natural chatoyancy. This treatment is permanent and stable. The result is a stone that combines the protective, grounding energy of tiger eye with the rich royal blue color associated with lapis lazuli. Major sources of tiger eye 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.
Lapis Blue Tiger Eye vs. Natural Stones:
| Stone | Type | Color | Chatoyancy |

Important Care Reminder – Dyed Stone:
These beads are dyed to achieve the lapis blue color. To preserve the color, avoid prolonged direct sunlight which may cause fading. Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Tiger eye is durable (Mohs 6.5-7), making it suitable for everyday wear.
Perfect for Throat Chakra and Royal Jewelry:
The combination of lapis blue tiger eye's regal color, protective chatoyancy, and modern faceted cube sparkle makes these beads perfect for throat chakra designs, third-eye chakra pieces, statement jewelry, and any project needing a bold, beautiful, distinctive touch.
