The Tiger’s Eye symbolizes the tiger’s strength, bravery, and courage, revered throughout history and worldwide. Let’s take a look at how different cultures define the Tigers Eye.

The early Egyptians were charmed by the Tiger Eye. Because of its shimmering rays, it was then believed to symbolize the heavens above. Also, the famous sculptures of their great deities featured the Tiger Eye as their actual Eye.

Remember the Romans? Their chain mails had a Tigers Eye on them, which served as some ‘protective mystic.’ They also were huge fans of the Tigers Eye.

The Roman soldiers also wore them as a sign of gallantry in combat. 

For the Chinese, the Tiger Eye is significant. They look up to it because it signifies one of the zodiacs – the tiger. It is believed that the tiger is responsible for all our earthly physical pleasures felt with the senses. 

In Africa, lions are the ‘king’ of the jungle – but not for the Easterners. They see the tiger as the apex predator – the top of the food chain – the true ‘king’ of all beasts.
