A poet once said that when you look at a tiger eye stone, your inner tiger looks back at you. If you are not familiar with the tiger eye, well, it is a type of chalcedony having a brown to amber hue and stripes of grey and black across its surface. Wearing tiger eye jewelry such as a tiger eye necklace, tiger eye ring or tiger eye pendant can serve as a reminder to embrace your confidence – no matter what the situation is. Tiger eye is a type of quartz crystal that is mainly found in the African sub-continent. It possesses an attractive brownish-golden color and it has a silky luster because of which it resembles the eye of a tiger. Talking about its transparency, it is opaque in nature. This stone is commonly mined in metamorphic rocks that are found in shades of brownish red with iron stripes on them.
