Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Gold Tigers Eye

Golden tiger's eye gives this tea strainer its banded brown and amber stone with a soft moving lustre known as chatoyancy. The stainless steel mesh basket strains loose leaf tea over a mug or pot, then lifts out cleanly. Each raw stone is natural, so the banding and the play of light across it vary on every strainer.
