Tiger's
Eye
Tiger's
Eye, much like the eyes of a female cat, glitters with a small ray of
light on the surface. This property of stone is known as chatoyancy.
It is a brown quartz silicon dioxide having lustrous yellow and brown
parallel fibers. The presence of iron oxides gives the stone the color
of yellow-gold.
Tiger's Eye is very popular in jewelry making. It has the grounding
energy of the earth, but embellished with glowing warmth. This stone
is perfect for people in need of more confidence to accomplish their
goals. It helps people to recognize self resources and use it for the
attainment of their dreams apart from making them judge situations and
determine the best possible way to approach it. Roman soldiers wore
it, engraved with symbols, to protect them during battle.
Tiger's Eye is the anniversary stone for the ninth year of marriage
and astrological sign for capricorn. It is found in the regions of
South Africa, but the best stones is acquired from West Griqualand.
