A tigers eye crystal is actually crypto-crystalline quartz. A replacement process occurs when a hydrothermal stream, saturated with quartz washes through a layer of asbestos and replaces the asbestos with quartz. Several varieties exist, the prettiest is orange and black or blue and black. As far as wher to find it I imagine you can find it on ebay. I f you mean in matrix you would have to talk to a geologist or do a little research.
