C&S - Tiger Eye - Genuine
Exotic, honey-tinged color is only one of the charms of Tiger’s Eye. When cut in a cabochon shape, this unique gem flashes beams of light that resembles the eye of a jungle cat, displaying the optic phenomena called “Chatoyancy”. Its golden warmth and rich luster are prized by those who seek the mysterious and unusual in their jewelry. Popular with both men and women, Tiger’s Eye offers the exotic appeal of a tribal relic or personal talisman. Its power - primitive yet sophisticated - is unmistakable, whether set traditionally in gold or hung on a leather cord. It is said that Tiger’s Eye has the ability to protect its owner from harm and to assist in thinking clearly. Tiger's Eye is a member of the Quartz family of gemstones. The most important deposits are found in South Africa, though tiger's eye is also found in Western Australia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India and the United States. As an eco-toned color, the richness of Tiger’s Eye is certain to satisfy fashion-conscious consumers who desire chocolate and honey hues as accents to their favorite styles.
