However, this stone is not called tiger eye only because of its similarities to the view of the beautiful feline, but because since ancient times it was assured that whoever carried it acquired an attitude of domination, control and power similar to that of the tiger. The tigers are characterized by being astute, agile, determined, independent and always on guard. They are ferocious but very beautiful, and despite being surrounded by very dangerous animals, they always manage to project respect and authority. The Eye of Tiger borrows the strength of the beast to combat emotional threats that can affect our development.
The Mesopotamians, Egyptians and Romans sought to acquire all these characteristics. They knew what this stone could give them and they surrounded themselves with it.
