Legend - Tigereye gets its name from its resemblance to the eye of a tiger. This is due to its strong chatoyance. It is also been called Griqulandite, named from where the best examples were found - Griquland, South Africa.

Properties - In ancient times it was used to protect from evil spirits and evil doers.  Today it is used for its positive effects.
