Tigers Eye Pendant

The Tigers Eye crystal gemstone, with it mystical cat's eye effect, is the embodiment of Sun, Fire, and Earth.  It is believed to cleanse negative energies and shields the bearer from their transfer. And with its transmuting powers, it can convert negative energies into constructive positive energies. The Tiger’s Eye gemstone is the most powerful in the crystal world. It is a stone of protection, decision making, and courage, and when combined with other crystals, its positive impact multiplies. 

Tigers Eye displays a chatoyancy, cat's eye effect, when a polished stone is moved back and forth in incident light. It is a quartz gemstone, usually amber to brown in color, that forms when fibers of the mineral crocidolite are replaced by silica. This structure of parallel fibers is preserved in the stone, and the chatoyant "eye" crosses the parallel fibers at right angles. The best specimens of tiger's-eye, such as these palmstones,  are cut in an orientation that yields the best display of chatoyancy.
