Tiger Eye & Sterling Pendant, 1-1/2" oval stone. The small stone has light nearly horizontal stripes. Set in a frame with 'handles' at the sides and bottom, this pendant has a star-like appearance.

Tiger Eye is a form of quartz. It is chatoyant which means it 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. It is mined in Western Australia, South Africa, USA, Canada, India, Namibia, and Burma.

Many legends say that wearing tiger eye is beneficial for health and spiritual well being. Legend also says it is a psychic protector, great for business, and an aid to achieving clarity.
