Introduction
Tiger's eye, also known as "tiger stone" or "yellow tiger eye," has a chemical composition of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), containing fibrous crocidolite that creates its unique cat's eye effect.

In ancient Egyptian civilization, it was seen as a symbol of courage and wisdom, used for amulets and carved statues. Roman soldiers wore it to pray for protection and bravery on the battlefield. In medieval European history, it was considered an amulet of wealth and good fortune, believed to ward off evil spirits and accidents.
