It's hard to be truly unique when you come from a large family. Tiger's-eye quartz pulls it off. First, it's a rich, golden yellow that's sometimes deep enough to be called bronze. Second, it has an optical property known as chatoyancy. Tiger's eye has intergrown fibers that, when hit with light, reflect a wavy, silky, shimmer that almost seems to flow across the gem. The eye of the tiger. Spectacular.
This is a beautiful golden tiger eye sphere. It is a mixture of chatoyant golden and brown shades.
Traditionally, tiger's eye is a stone of protection that is also very grounding. It enhances integrity, willpower, practicality and correct use of power. It is a stone that enhances good luck, and brings prosperity, often in the form of money. It can also help one see clearly without illusion.
The material for the sphere originated from Madagascar. Its diameter is 42 mm, and weight is 105 g.
The sphere has a couple of indents which can be clearly seen on the photos.
