Mythology
Tiger’s eye, also known as tigers eye, tiger eye, and tiger iron, is a member of the quartz group of chalcedonies. It is one of the chatoyant gemstones. Chatoyancy exhibits a changeable silky lustre as light is reflected within the thin parallel fibrous bands. This effect is due to the fibrous structure of the material. Tiger iron is composed of tiger’s eye, red jasper and black hematite. The rippled wavy bands of colour often resemble a scenic view.
Marra Mamba is a form of tiger iron found in one area of Australia near Mount Brockman. It is a very rare type of tiger iron that contains shades of red, green, yellow, and blue. This area has been mined out for many years so very little of the “true” marra mamba is available today
Usage

It enhances creativity and is one of the stones that aid the kundalini awakening. This is a stone that helps us to be more active, mentally as well as physically, and its major work is within the lower chakras. It will stimulate the base chakra, sacral chakra and solar plexus chakra, where its energy has a very powerful effect.
