Frequently Asked Questions
Name, History & Etymology
History
Tiger's Eye is a variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of silica, primarily composed of silicon dioxide. It forms when crocidolite (blue asbestos) is altered by quartz, which replaces the asbestos fibers while retaining their fibrous structure. This process, known as pseudomorphism, is what gives Tiger's Eye its characteristic chatoyancy. Historically, it was believed to be a stone of protection and good fortune. Roman soldiers were said to carry it for courage in battle. Its popularity surged in the Victorian era for jewelry and ornamental objects.
First Recorded Use
The term 'Tiger's Eye' for the gemstone became common as it gained popularity in the 19th century, particularly after significant deposits were found in South Africa.
Cultural Associations
In various cultures, Tiger's Eye is associated with courage, strength, and protection. It's often used as a talisman against ill wishes or curses. In some spiritual practices, it's believed to balance yin-yang energies, alleviate fear, and aid in decision-making. Its golden-brown hues are also linked to wealth and prosperity.
