Gemstones are worn, not only for their aesthetic
value, but for their spiritual and healing properties.
Tiger Eye, a quartz and
planetary birthstone of Gemini, has been known to man for millennia. It is reputed
to ward off illness and evil. As well as a psychic protector Tiger Eye helps
the wearer achieve clarity. It is said to aid problem solving and to give
confidence. If embarking on a trying time in life – wear Tiger Eye.
On a medicinal note the stone
keeps stomach ailments away, and is, apparently, very good for treating eye
problems. It can also aid night vision!
Birthstones are widely known. Gemini (22nd May – 21st
June) has several: agate, citrine, moonstone and pearl, to name a few.
Planetary birthstones are perhaps not so widely recognised.
In ancient times planets were
associated with specific gemstones. It was thought that if you wore the stone
that was associated with the ruling planets at the time you were born, positive
effects would reflect in your life.
Whatever you believe, it is hard to deny that this
semi-precious gemstone is beautiful. It’s great depth of colour is due to its
fibrous structure. As light passes onto, and through, the Tiger Eye stone you
will see beautiful bands of golden yellow, red brown and honey hues. To the
touch, Tiger Eye is silky smooth.
It is, without doubt, one of my favourite gemstones.
