Historical Lore

Tiger’s eye is a metamorphic quartz formed through the alteration of crocidolite fibers replaced by silica, most commonly sourced in South Africa and Western Australia. It is known for its optical effect called chatoyancy. Archaeological evidence indicates its use in carved ornaments and jewellery in ancient Roman contexts, where it was valued as a decorative stone. In historical lapidary use, it was primarily appreciated for its appearance and polishability rather than symbolic or ritual applications.
