It was not until I started making my own jewelry and actually handpicking the stones we use in our pieces, that I realized how beautiful Tiger’s Eye can be. I’m sure in the past I was probably looking at either fake or low grade stones. Now that I have been able to touch them and turn them in the light to see how they reflect and almost glow, I can now say its one of my favorite stones. I love the gradient bands of radiant gold and how they blend so perfectly into, yet still contrast, the brown, it is simply mesmerizing to me. There are three different colors of Tiger’s Eye, Red, Blue & Yellow (above I am referring to the Yellow). Now let me share with you how powerful this beautiful stone can be.
