History and folklore
Tiger's eye gets its shifting golden bands from fibers within the stone, which create a moving line of light called chatoyancy. Traditionally, Roman soldiers are said to have carried engraved tiger's eye for courage in battle. In folklore across many places, eye-like stones were worn to watch over the wearer and turn away the evil eye. Modern witches use tiger's eye for confidence, practical luck, and clear decisions, especially when they need both courage and good judgment.
