    Although tiger's eye can be dyed in the colors you're looking for,
    I've never seen one piece with all of them together, just one piece
    with solid color. Perhaps you shouls consider some of the synthetic
    opal that is out there. It is available with different bodycolors,
    including black, blue and pink, as well as the standard white. When
    viewed from the side, it has a columnar structure that resembles the
    aurora borealis (in an abstract sort of way), and contains the
    play-of-color you're looking for. A Google search of "Gilson opal
    rough" and "synthetic opal rough" yields good results.
