43 Tigers Eye, Silver Chain Necklace: Tigers Eye is a form of Quartz, less hard than straight crystal Quartz, thus lending itself to engraving. When cut cabochon, round no facets, the gemstone often displays a vivid yellow “eye”, hence its name. The gemstone is sourced from quite a few locations around the world, and although there seems now no European source, there probably has been in the past, given that Roman soldiers used the gemstone as a talisman in battles.
Tigers Eye takes a good polish. It is not a costly gemstone but is attractive, for the gleam of the bright yellow “eye” is quite eye-catching.
