Tiger's Eye Elephant Pendant with Necklace

A beautiful pendant fashioned into an elephant featuring a Tiger's Eye crystal. Comes with a free stainless steel chain.

The elephant is a prominent symbol of strength, fertility and intelligence in many cultures, including Chinese, Indian and African. It is a respected animal of insight, cherished by many. In Buddhism, the elephant is one of the eight holy animals, and in the Hindu religion, the Ganesha is the God with the head of an elephant.

In both a mythical and religious role, the Elephant is seen as a mark of magnificence, able to be worshipped and honoured. In many folklore and war stories, the elephant has been seen as enchanting and alluring - in ancient China, the Elephant was a war animal, often given as gifts to the emperor by the King of Siam, during the Kang Hsi era. This animal could always outdo the opponent and prove both its dignity and discretion.

The Elephant also holds a very potent position in Feng Shui. The mother of Buddha had dreams about a pure white elephant directly prior to Buddha’s birth; it is for this reason that the Elephant is now an icon of fertility, being used by couples or singles who desire a newborn. It is an auspicious omen, providing protection for the beholder.

The Tiger Eye, also know as African cat's-eye or crocidolite cat's-eye is a very protective stone originating from Africa. The Africans believe that it has the power to drive away negative energy, such as those which arise from the use of black magic and various traditional curses (especially when on long journeys). Roman soldiers wore tiger's eye in battle for protection. With the Tiger’s Eye by your side, you will be able to feel more peaceful; this is useful for those who are plagued by inner inconsistencies, depression and clouded emotions. Tiger's Eye helps one to recognise his/her talents, promotes mental clarity and assists in overcoming own's fault and in resolving problems objectively. It boosts positive attitude and determination hence useful for those seeking success in their career and those with high ambitions.
