Vintage Natural Tiger's Eye Necklace
Layer this golden beauty or wear as a stand alone piece. It is large enough to make a statement without drowning out your other pieces of jewelry. This piece comes to us from New Mexico and belonged to a lovely lady named Margaret. Her parents traveled from Mexico to the states in a wagon and settled in Santa Fe before it became an artist mecca. Margaret became a social worker and adopted a wonderful boy named David. He grew up to become an archeologist and married the love of his life. His mom Margaret wore this necklace along with the matching bracelet and earrings listed in store quite often. This necklace would make a perfect gift for a therapist or masseuse as Tiger's Eye assists in healing psychosomatic illnesses and dispels fear and anxiety and well as promotes mental clarity. This is a natural tiger's eye stone on a silver tone 24" chain. The stone shows some loss of luster from rubbing to one edge (please see photos) There are a few small surface cracks, but NO large cracks or chips to stone. Metal work is in good condition with NO breaks to pendant edges.

Nicknamed The Shapeshifter, the earthly rich and curious gemstone of Tiger’s Eye invites the wearer to embrace their inner-strength, personal willpower, and to call on the powers of protection. Colored with golden bands, flecks of sand, and smudges of inky black and brown – there’s no disputing the wild force and energy that can be found in this stone. Traditionally the Tiger Eye Gemstone was carried as a protective amulet against the forces of evil. It was said to ward off curses and to keep the wearer safe from ill-wishes. But beyond the powers of protection, the Tiger Eye comes with a whole host of healing properties.
It is connected to both the root and the sacral chakra. Tiger’s Eye is an amazing fortifier of the blood and exceptional at balancing out the endocrine system. For those who tend to feel a little sluggish or soaked in lethargy, the Tiger Eye stone can use its fiery golden-brown chi to stir the pot and awaken motivation. Higher energy, a speedier metabolism, and a softer sex-drive all help the hormones to fall into alignment, effectively bringing personal biochemistry back to the best level. For those who suffer from seasonal depression, the warm-blooded stone also holds the heat of the sun, helping to alleviate the weight of dark and dreary days.
Wash away negative energy, dig deep into the root chakra, and let self-confidence soar with the Tiger Eye crystal. This stone comes with plenty of emotional healing properties and helps the wearer to stay strong, centered and connected to their core regardless of the chaos that surrounds them. When feeling blocked, the energy of Tiger’s Eye can also cut straight through that lack of motivation and help shift focus by encouraging a more active approach to life.
By building that safe and strong foundation, directing energy in the right way, and soaking up the radiant sunny warmth of the stone, those who make space for the Tiger’s Eye in their life may find that new confidence carries them over and helps them to drive for success. As part of the healing powers, toxic energies are washed away, mental roadblocks pushed aside, and deepest dreams suddenly stop being visions and become well and truly in targeted reach.
