HISTORY OF TIGER’S EYE STONE

Under the Roman Empire, tiger’s eye stone was used by warriors and soldiers to protect themselves in battle. Later in the Middle Ages, tiger’s eye was worn as a pendant to break spells and ward off evil spirits. Beliefs and superstitions refer to its protective benefits because, as its name suggests, it resembles a tiger’s eye and therefore protects from evil eye.

Around 1800, tiger’s eye stone was discovered in South Africa. People thought it was a very rare stone and consequently sold it as a gemstone at a very high price. At the beginning of the 20th century, other deposits were discovered in North Africa, which led to a price devaluation; It was then designated semi-precious.

Today, tiger’s eye stone is widely exploited in litho therapy but also in jewellery. Tiger’s eye can be found mounted on jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets, etc.
