Meaning and History of Tiger's Eye
Under the Roman Empire , the Tiger's Eye stone was used by warriors and soldiers to protect themselves during battles. Later in the Middle Ages, the Tiger's Eye was worn as a pendant to repel spells and chase away evil spirits. All beliefs have been given to its protective benefits because as its name suggests, it resembles the tiger's eye and therefore protects against the evil eye .
Around the year 1800 , it was first discovered in South Africa. Everyone thought that it was an extremely rare stone and therefore it sold like a precious stone for a very expensive price. At the beginning of the 20th century , other deposits were discovered in North Africa , which caused a devaluation of the price of tiger's eye. It then became semi-precious.
Today, the stone is widely used in lithotherapy but also in jewelry . We find the Tiger's Eye mounted on jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, etc.
