A Tiger Eye Orphan Stone (1)

Tiger’s Eye is an ancient gemstone, mysterious and powerful, revered and in some civilizations, feared – thought to be an “all-seeing all-knowing eye”, granting a wearer the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors. It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision, and was believed to provide the protection of the sun and earth combined, of Ra, the sun god and Geb, god of the growing land. Linked to the magical tiger, the king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrayed courage, integrity and righteous use of power. Roman soldiers carried it to deflect weapons and to bestow courage and protection in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting one’s resources.
