Favourite Gemstone

Each month I tend to select a stone as my favourite of the month, and this month I have selected one of my all times favourite stones, Tiger eye, reason being that it's amazing golden-brown colour reminds me of the warm shades of Autumn.

Tiger eye is part of the Quartz group and it resemble the eye of the tiger hence its name.  This gemstone has beautiful earthy colours - golden, yellow, red and brown - and it has a changeable silk lust.

Tiger eye is usually associated with Strength, Confidence Protection and Harmony and 

I am enchanted with Tiger eye because this wonderful gemstone  makes beautiful jewellery

Finally I decided to use a bead Shop gift voucher I received as a b’day present from a friend last month. When I left home my mind was clear........ I would buy a strand of Malachite beads... Once in the shop looking at all the beautiful beads I was in total confusion. Agate, Pearls, Tiger Eye.... I wanted them all... the more I saw the more I wanted ... until... my eyes caught site of a strand of Mookaite, gorgeous and shiny beads in a mix of yellow, red and brown. I fell in love with them straight away.. they had to be mine. By the time I left the shop I was as confused as when I got there - Couldn’t understand why I even bothered deciding in advance which beads I wanted if I always change my mind later; I was also secretly upset I couldn’t buy all the beads in the shop .... but I couldn’t have been happier with my beautiful purchase + a stand of Jasper which I couldn't resist..... and VOILA what I did with them...... a gorgeous necklace and three stunning chunky stretch bracelets
