Tiger Eye is quartz that contains oriented fibres of crocidolite that have been replaced by silica. Tiger eye displays chatoyancy (a vertical luminescent band like that of a cat's eye) . Tiger eye typically has lustrous alternating yellow or brown bands. Roman soldiers wore tiger's-eye for protection in battle. Tiger Eye was thought to be all seeing due to its appearance and was thought to relieve high blood pressure. Wearing tiger eye is thought to be very helpful in the presence of following diseases: bronchial asthma, kidney, rheumatic heart disease, otitis and psoriasis. It is used for focusing the mind. It is said that Tiger Eye offers protection during travel, strengthens convictions and confidence. This very warm stone is beneficial for the weak and sick.
Citrine (SiO2) is a transparent, coarse-grained variety of the silica mineral quartz. It is a semiprecious
gem that is valued for its yellow to brownish color and its resemblance to the rarer topaz. Natural citrine is rare compared to amethyst or smoky quartz , both of which are often heated to turn their natural color into that of citrine. Used in Greece since the Hellenistic period (end of the 4th to the end of the 1st century BC).
Citrine is reputed to be valuable in the treatment of depression and eliminating self-destructive tendencies. It is said to stimulate memory, aid digestion, and remove toxins from the body. Citrine is supposedly a good healing stone, especially for heart, kidney and liver.
Citrine symbolizes light-heartedness, joy and happiness. It is a great protective talisman, and it calms and soothes. Citrine is the signature of wisdom and peace. It stimulates the mental body and aids the opening of the bridge between higher mental body and intuitional levels. It is said to help one connect with spirit, enhancing creativity, and motivating writers.
Citrine is found in Brazil, Madagascar, Spain, Uruguay, Scotland, USA (California, Colorado, North
Carolina, Georgia, and Nevada) and Russia. Brazil, where these nuggets come from, is the main source
of citrine.
