To create tiger's eye effect, dark
brown stones vivified by yellowish fibers are
required. To obtain tigers eye beads, these beads
should be crafted very carefully from tiger eye
stones. As these beads resemble the eyes of tigers,
therefore, these beads have given this name. In
these beads, there is bright radiant sheen with
alternative bands of brown, yellow and black. When
these beads are polished, a bright golden color
luster is generated from these. The combination of
rich black and yellow stripes is the principle
attraction of these beads. It is believed that
tigers eye beads are used as wedding anniversary
gemstones on the completion of 9 years of marriage.
These tigers eye beads are required for adorning
small carvings such as cameos, jewelries or
ornaments and intaglios. According to the view of
many legends, wearing of tigers eye beads are
beneficial for spiritual well being and health.
These beads also act as protector of human
psychology, useful for the success in business and
in achieving clarity. The principal countries from
where these stone beads are obtained are South
Africa, Australia, Nigeria etc. To keep the tigers
eye stones in good condition, these must be
prevented from sharp blows and scratches. Frequently
changing temperature may also make an adverse effect
on these beads. |
