Tigers Eye:-

TigersEye forms when Quartz forms over existing bluish-gray Crocidolite, and eventually entirely replaces it. Crocidolite is a type of asbestos mineral, which means its composition is of fine, dense fibers. These fibers form in a parallel yet wavy orientation, and this causes the intriguing chatoyant effect exhibited in Tiger's Eye. During the replacement process, the iron within the Crocidolite dissolves and stains the Quartz, thereby providing the golden yellow to brown color of the Tigers Eye.

The name "chatoyance" originates from the French word "chatoyer," which means "to shine like a cat's eye." The analogy also matches the way a cat's pupils will narrow to a thin slit under bright light.

A good analogy for the chatoyance effect is how light reflects to form a line across the surface of a spool of silk thread. Viewing and moving a spool of silk thread under a beam of incident light can be a useful way to develop an understanding of how parallel inclusions produce an "eye" within a gemstone.

In a chatoyant gemstone, the band of light will move back and forth beneath the surface of the stone as it is turned under a beam of light. The band will also move if the position of the light is moved, or the observer moves his head to view the stone from a different angle. The motion of the cat's-eye across the top of the gem is one of the things that makes these stones so interesting, beautiful, and desired by many people.

Tigers Eye stone history dates back thousands of years to when the golden-brown quartz was carved into amulets and talismans worn by ancient Roman soldiers. The tiger eye gemstone "flash" was also believed to be distracting to the opponent of a warrior or soldier. It was believed to help one remain calm and courageous, stay focused and persevere like the unwavering focus and determination of a tiger.

The tiger has infinite patience it will wait steadfastly until the time is right for it to begin the unwavering pursuit of its prey. Tigers Eye is believed to impart the patience of the tiger, giving one a greater ability to wait and the insight and clear focus to recognize when the time is right.

Tigers live in harmony with nature, using their impressive power only when needed. Tiger eye gemstones impart this balance and harmony by helping one to think clearly without anxiety or fear.

Tigers Eye imparts compassion, grace and unconditional love and will facilitate communication by allowing one to participate without anxiety or fear. The ability to think clearly with unwavering focus will provide a better understanding of one's path and how one can become a helpful force in the world.
Gemstones that have a more golden tiger eye color are believed to impart a deeper sense of commitment and devotion. They facilitate mature enthusiasm, a desire for lifelong commitment and unconditional love.

Buddha Symbolism:-

Because Buddha is not merely a name but also a title, sculptures of Buddha are meant to symbolise the process by which one can get a comprehensive and profound understanding of life. Hence not only do the statues and images of Buddha serve as physical representations or depictions of how Buddha appeared in his physical form, but they also serve as symbols of Buddha's teachings, good fortune, inner peace, and the motivating force that should be present in every human being.

Buddhism is consistently ranked among the most followed faiths in every region of the world. Buddhism, which was founded by Gautama Buddha on the Indian subcontinent between the 5th and 6th century B.C., quickly spread throughout Asia and is now the predominant religion in many Asian nations, including Japan, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Tibet, to name just a few.

Buddhism has emerged as one of the most prominent religions in the world. The Buddha's teachings are responsible for this rise in popularity. I am not going to delve deeply into the teachings of the Buddha as it is complex and there are many subtleties that I do not wish to misspeak. 

This is a very, very basic summary:- Buddhist teachings revolve around the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, both of which aim to guide individuals towards enlightenment and the cessation of suffering. The Four Noble Truths explain the nature of suffering, its causes, the possibility of its end, and the path to achieve it. The Eightfold Path provides a practical framework for living a life of mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, ultimately leading to liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
