“It comes from South Africa,” he told me of this tiger eye sphere, this dealer from Toronto, Canada.  The spheres were beautiful – and larger than I had ever seen.  Most tiger eye for sales in rough is one to three inches thick.  These spheres had been made from pieces five to six inches thick.   I have a good deal of rough tiger eye, but none large enough to make spheres this big,  He explained that he has rough rock this size but that it had been held up in customs.  I hope his rough arrives before we leave Quartzsite!  Today is the last day of the Pow Wow gem and mineral show.  We have had a fun time.  There truly are rocks and dealers from all over the world.
