Gemstone lore: I use Tiger Eye when
I can't seem to focus my thoughts or attention, or when I am
apprehensive about something. It is also one of the 'regulars' in my
healing stones travel kit, not just because it is believed to be very
protective during travel, but also because it has been very helpful with
short tempers and stomach aches.
Chatoyancy is an optical reflectance which,
in the case of Tiger Eye, arises from the fibrous structure of the
stone. Light is reflected perpendicularly to the fibers and gives the
stone a different appearance when viewed from different angles.
