History: This gemstone has been treasured since antiquity. The earliest recorded use of Tiger Eye dates back to Ancient Egypt, where it was believed to provide protection and strength. Pharaohs and warriors alike wore it as a talisman to guard against harm and to bestow courage.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
