Tiger's Eye

Don't look so smug Tiger! They say good for the mind, not the body...they say to use it for insight and you'll be a very lucky person.. Tiger's eye is said to cause the mind to focus and to have feelings of oneness and feel more direct in all thoughts...the only thing I'm seeing in Tiger's eye is a whole lot of lies!

Clearly, the tiger's eye we're talking about is a gemstone and not Tiger woods, though he definitely seemed focused on his game. The game of scoring "birdies" if you know what we mean! Let's just say he definitely is working on his "bump and runs, or chip and rolls" in his spare time...

Here's hoping that Tiger can rip the "divot" out of his wife's heart before it's too late...poor elin =(

It's safe to say the "penalty stroke" or strokes has cost Tiger a lot more than his game....

Anywho, let's talk a little about the tiger's eye we know and love...Tiger's eye quartz.

Tiger's eye is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock that is yellow- to red-brown, with a silky luster. A member of the quartz group. The gems are usually cut en cabochon in order to best display their chatoyancy. Chatoyancy is an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones. The effect can be likened to the sheen off a spool of silk...PRETTY! The luminous streak of reflected light is always perpendicular to the direction of the fibres. For a gemstone to show this effect best it must be cut en cabochon, with the fibers or fibrous structures parallel to the base of the finished stone. Faceted stones are less likely to show the effect well.

Well everyone, we just had to write about Tiger's eye...it's just as star worthy and news worthy as the other!

Lot's of diamonds and rubies,
