Tiger's Eye
Rich golden brown with bands of shifting light. As you turn it, a silky stripe of shine moves across the surface, like the eye of a big cat.
About tiger's eye
Tiger's eye is a form of quartz containing fine parallel fibres, coloured by iron oxides. The fibres give it chatoyancy, the moving band of light that gives the stone its name. Much of it comes from South Africa.
Tradition links tiger's eye with courage, focus and steady confidence. It is said to be a grounding, protective stone, and has long been carried as a good luck charm.
