eye displays "chatoyancy" (a vertical luminescent band like that of a cat's eye) . Tiger eye typically has lustrous alternating
yellow or brown bands. Tiger Eye is the anniversary gemstone for the 9th year of marriage. Roman soldiers wore
tiger's-eye for protection in battle. Tiger Eye was thought to be all seeing due to its appearance.

This stone looks good in the photo to the left, but I'm not really happy with the finish on it. It was commercially
cut in India from South African material. It looks pretty good unless you inspect it closely. I thought about recutting
it, and still might if it doesn't sell at this incredible price! Approx. size: 28x20 Weight: 36.45 cts.

sale, and this definitely one of those! Approx. size: 24x15 Weight: 21.3 cts.

This pendant piece is a little wider than thick, so it resembles a flattened obelisk. It makes for one great gemstone
though! Approx. size: 5(4)x10(5)x30 Weight:17.45 cts.

In retrospect, I should have cut two of these, because they would have made a great pair of earrings. As it is, this
small obelisk-shaped gem would make a premium, petite pendant. Approx. size: 5x5(4)x20 Weight:
7.6 cts

Buy one bunch of daisies - get the second bunch at half price. For best results, give them plenty of sun, frequent watering,
and regular fertilization.
