Tiger's Eye

During this Year of the Metal Tiger, the bead to have is tiger's eye. This quartz has a rich yellow and golden brown stripes, with a fine golden lustre when polished and is distinguished for its chatoyancy (a vertical luminescent band like that of a cat's eye). It is a protection stone and Roman soldiers in the past wore it for that purpose when they went to war.  Healthwise, tiger's eye relieves high blood pressure and is also said to protect and relieve the wearer from bronchial asthma, kidney, rheumatic heart disease, otitis and psoriasis. Tiger's Eye is used for focusing the mind. It is said that Tiger Eye offers protection during travel, strengthens convictions and confidence. This very warm stone is beneficial for the weak and sick. In Namaste, a tiger's eye sells for about P150. They also have Tiger's eye pendants and earrings.
