Tiger's eye (also called tiger eye) is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock with a golden to red-brown colour and a silky lustre. As members of the quartz group, tiger's eye and the related blue-coloured mineral hawk's eye gain their silky, lustrous appearance from the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibres that have mostly turned into limonite. Common sources of tiger's eye include Australia, Burma, India, Namibia, South Africa, the United States,Brazil, Canada, China, Korea and Spain. In some parts of the world, the stone is believed to ward off the evil eye. Roman soldiers wore engraved tigers eye to protect them in battle. It will be sent maximum insured
