Healing Gemstones: Tiger's Eye

Gemstones are known for being used as adornments in jewelry, but they also are used for their healing properties. Tiger's eye, the stone of self discipline,  is a common gemstone that is found in South Africa. Ancient Egyptians believed that tiger's eye would bring the wearer good fortune and protection. Tiger's-eye is polished to show  its characteristic band of pearly luminescence. The colors range from a rich golden yellow to dark brown.
