Capturing the genuine beauty of the tiger, with golden auburn tones that are uniquely spaced, These stones were originally given this name because the colouration of the stone itself closely resembles the golden and yellowy-brown colour of a tiger and just one of the reasons that the tiger eye stone is so desirable. One of the most essential sources of Tiger Eye gemstones can be found in South Africa, India, Sri Lanka... Towards the end of the 16th century, the Tiger's Eye was thought to be more valuable and precious than gold. At this point in time, this stone was so rare and so striking that only tribal leaders, along with their immediate relatives possessed and wore Tiger's eye for their wardresses or ceremonial outfits. With our tiger eye stone, we recall the intellect, the bravery, and the strength of Shaka and the brave and courageous warriors of the famous Zulu Tribe. Just as those tribes believed that wearing the tiger eye would give them the strength of the tiger.
