Over time, Ancient Egyptians used asbestos for burial cloths to protect the dead during their journey to the afterlife. And they believed the beautiful tiger’s eye would bring good fortune and protect its bearer. They related this well-being to the sun which they worshiped as a god.
Cutting and sawing tiger’s eye is very tricky. Because the fibrous formation are usually twisted and seldom grows straight the cut must be exactly parallel to the formation. Research has shown the any dust produced while cutting a stone can be hazardous to your health so always take adequate precautions and avoid breathing any of the stone dust.
The Tiger Eye stone is perfect for all occasions, and when you get it strung on a sterling silver necklace or with a stone like ruby, it looks positively beautiful. Regardless of what tiger eye jewelry you wear for everyday or a special occasion, you add a special expression of beauty, elegance and sophistication to your life. This expression has developed through a great history and desire for cultural and human well-being.
When it comes to the care of this jewelry, more than anything you want to make sure that you protect it from scratches and sharp blows as best you can. Also avoid large temperature changes when possible, and purchasing a book on this would be the best idea so that you can turn to it when necessary.
