Tiger's eye, a golden to red-brown metamorphic rock with a silky luster, has been a significant stone for thousands of years. It has been used in many cultures and for a variety of purposes, including.

• Ancient China: The tiger was a symbol of power and the "king of the jungle" in Eastern cultures, so tiger's eye was carved into small tigers to protect its carriers.
• Ancient Rome: Roman soldiers wore carved tiger's eye amulets in their breastplates for protection in battle.
