Introduction
The chemical composition of red tiger's eye is silicon dioxide (SiO₂), belonging to the quartz family. Its reddish-brown to deep red luster is derived from color changes formed by natural iron oxides penetrating the fibrous structure, and it possesses a flowing, silky sheen on its surface like a tiger's eye, also known as "red tiger eye stone."

During the ancient Roman period, it was often worn by soldiers as a protective amulet, symbolizing courage, strength, and unwavering will. In Eastern cultures, it is also regarded as a symbol that brings assertiveness and protective energy.
