The Misconception
It is natural to think that tiger's eye got its name from its similarity to the eye of a tiger. If true, one can only assume that very few people had ever seen the eye of a tiger. The eyes of small cats tend to have pupils that form narrow, vertical slits. But the eyes of big cats such as tigers have round pupils like humans. Perhaps it is the golden brown color of the gemstone that led to the name.
