Tiger's Eye Bahai Prayer Beads
I love Tiger's eye, also spelled tigers eye and tiger eye, because of the silky yellow and golden brown luster. A metamorphic stone, it's a member of the quartz family mined in both South Africa and Australia. It's known primarily for lustrous alternating brown and yellow bands.
In ancient Rome, soldiers wore tigers eye for protection in battle. Today, some still consider it the stone of protection. Others say the brown represents grounding and the gold, spiritual qualities. That would make this the gemstone reminding you to walk the spiritual path with practical feet. Tigers eye is also the anniversary gemstone for the 9th year of marriage.
There are 95, 6 mm tigers eye beads as well as five counter beads at the bottom. A spacer after the 19th bead allows you to easily use your favorite meditation method. The accent is a 12 mm tigers eye and pewter combination. They are strung on super strong nylon polyamid thread. At 22-23" around, they can be worn as a necklace if you wear a small hat size.
They come in a velvet or satin pouch along with a fold-out instruction sheet with prayers, pronunciation guide and explanation of some of the many ways to use prayer beads, making this a perfect gift. All work is unconditionally guaranteed.
