 TIGEREYE: (also spelled tiger’s-eye or tiger eye) is a semiprecious Quartz gem displaying chatoyancy (a vertical luminescent band). Tigereye typically has alternating golden and brown bands that roll across the surface and catch the light, resembling the eye of a tiger. Its tawny brown color is derived from iron oxides. Roman soldiers wore Tigereye for protection in battle because it was thought to be "all seeing" due to its appearance. Physically, it is also said to relieve high blood pressure as well as psoriasis, bronchial asthma, kidney, rheumatic and heart diseases. Tigereye is believed to be useful in focusing the mind and is credited for giving protection during travel. It is thought to strengthen one’s convictions and confidence, thereby being very beneficial for the weak and sick.
