A very high quality Tiger Eye with polished sides set in sterling silver.  Approx. 1 1/2" long.  A very stunning piece. 

Tiger Eye (Golden) is closely attuned to earth energies, but the shimmering, eye-catching yellow highlights are linked to the sun. Thus tiger eye is a bridge between earth and sky, a link or tool representing a balance between the physical and the spiritual. Is said to bring good luck and courage.
