Tigers Eye and Tiger Iron
Tiger's eye (tigers eye, tiger eye, tiger iron) is a member of the quartz group of chalcedonies. It is one of the chatoyant gemstones, which means it has a silky luster that changes as light reflects within the thin, fibrous bands in the material. Roman soldiers wore tiger's-eye in battle for protection as it was thought to be all seeing.
TIGER IRON is an altered rock composed chiefly of tiger's eye, red jasper and black hematite.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY: Tiger Eye is the anniversary gemstone for the 9th year of marriage.
