Handmade Tiger’s Eye Rosary BG0006

Tiger’s eye is one of the most popular quartz varieties. It has a brown color with golden-yellow veins and displays an excellent luster. These veins retain the fibrous structure of crocidolite. It exhibits a characteristic linear iridescence like a moving reflection. This very characteristic optical effect is known by the French word chatoyancy, which means “cat’s eye” and symbolizes the union of the Earth with the Sun. Tiger’s eye is considered to promote decision-making and self-confidence. It is encountered in the USA, South Africa, Namibia, and Brazil. There is a darker tiger’s eye variety called Hawk’s Eye, which is deep blue, and another one called Bull’s Eye, which is deep red.
