TIGER’S EYE
The Brown and Golden variation of genuine Tiger's Eye, with dark and bright bends, are the most common, but the gemstone also appears in Red, Black and Blue. Neither is enhanced.

Tiger's Eye has such a strong following in Africa, that it was for a while, considered as a National Treasure, and was banned from exports in some southern countries such as Namibia, South Africa and Lesotho.

I spent some three years in Africa, traveling & trading with a variety of tribesmen artist and venders in a way few men before me could. (Coming soon...my trips to and in Africa.)

The Brown and Golden variation of genuine Tiger's Eye, with dark and bright bends, are the most common, but the gemstone also appears in Red, Black and Blue. Neither is enhanced.

It is believed, that the stone has great healing powers. It is also attributed such qualities as the development of courage and prosperity.

Easily recognized gemstone, the Tiger's Eye, despite its relative availability, is the most artificially imitated semi precious stone.

Imitation includes mass produced plastic beads and cabochons, in all colors, with fancy names such as "Cat's Eye." These men made imitation are sometime described as "Fiber Optic" jewelry.
