Natalie, The multi colored Tiger eye is usually marra mamba and uber expensive. Regular comes in brown, greenish, gold, Blue (hawkseye) red ( heat treated brown) variegated ( usually goldish and greenish or bluish) Picture ( from Africa) which is usually gold with silvery hematite and tiger iron from Australia which is gold, silver hematite and red jasper. Most all run in the $8 per pound up range which makes for an expensive tumble, but watch e-bay, I got my last batch for about $3 per pound plus shipping. There are native Tiger eye types from California and from Arizona which are greenish gray. Both are asbestos rich so should be handled with care and the Californa stuff is very rare. Both are more expensive than the foreign material...Mel
