This natural tiger eye gemstone is designed to be a teardrop shape with vibrant golden stripes that run horizontally instead of the traditional vertical cut. The idea behind it is that the gold sheen looks moving up and down not sideways.
It’s a nice large size pendant with a minimalist style wire wrap setting that focuses to show the entire size of the stone and less for the setting. The stone is hand-polished on lapidary diamond wheels to a 50.000 grit bright and shiny surface on both sides with a domed face and flat back.
Tiger eye is one of the most sought-after ancient talisman stones. Back in time, it was believed to possess one gives one the ability to observe everything even behind closed doors. The roman warriors wore it to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle.
Over time its golden sheen became a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.
Tiger Eye is a variety of macrocrystalline Quartz, formed as layers of Crocidolite that makes it golden and chatoyant.
