Tiger Eye is a member of the Quartz family and forms from hawk’s eye through pseudomorphism of Crocidolite in Quartz. The largest deposit is in South Africa but others can be found in India, Burma, Australia, and the US. Tiger Eye is a protective stone that was traditionally carried as a talisman against ill-wishing and curses.

Tourmaline can be found on every continent on Earth but fine crystal specimens are still considered rare. Tiffany & Co. popularized this stone starting around 1876 when they obtained a Green Tourmaline from Maine. It comes in a wide variety of colors, however, and many specimens contain more than one color. This is a pyroelectic/piezoelectric mineral, meaning it can be electrically charged by heating, cooling, or rubbing. Major known areas with Tourmaline are Brazil, the United States, Africa, Sri Lanka, & Russia. The most sought after colors are intense pink and green. Black Tourmaline is used for psychic protection, clears the auric field, and it is recommended for ridding oneself of negative thoughts, anxieties, angers, and feelings of unworthiness.
