Tiger's-eye receives its name from the way that light interacts with the stone. When moved in the light, the stone exhibits a line of light that moves across the surface of the stone. The line of light reminds people of the line-shaped pupil in the eye of a tiger - thus the name. A stone of protection, Tiger Eye may also bring good luck to the wearer. It has the power to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions. Particularly useful for healing psychosomatic illnesses, dispelling fear and anxiety.
