These characteristics reflect the grace and power of tigers, which are considered majestic and powerful animals. People who wear a tiger's eye bracelet often report a feeling of protection and strength. The use of tiger eye stones has a long history, dating back to ancient times in many cultures. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs and high-ranking aristocrats wore these valued stones because they believed they could use the rays of the midday sun and their power for strength and vitality. The tiger's eye also plays an important role in Chinese folklore: the tiger symbolizes protection and is a central element of Chinese astrology. Chinese residents carved amulets from tiger eye stones to protect themselves from evil spirits. In Roman times, soldiers wore this stone into battles, believing it would protect them from death and injury while giving them strength and courage.
