Semi Precious Stone Tiger’s Eye
Tiger's Eye is the planetary stone for Gemini
(May 21-Jun. 20) and is accepted gem for the
ninth wedding anniversary.
Tiger's eye (tiger’s eye, tiger eye, tiger iron) is actually
a member of the quartz group. It is one of the
most chatoyant gemstones. Chiromancy exhibits
a changeable silky luster as light is reflected within the thin
parallel fibrous bands. This effect is due to the fibrous structure
of the material. Tiger iron is composed of tiger's eye, red
jasper and also black hematite. The
rippled wavy bands of color often resemble a scenic view.
