Say That Again...
Just saw on a shopping network tiger eye rings... and it brought to mind my very first experience with 'tiger eye' I was working in an office and one of the employees showed me his new ring. I asked what kind of a stone it was. He proudly announced it was a 'tiger eye'.
Appalled I replied 'is it a real riger eye? ' He said of course it was real, he didn't wear phony rings.
Astonished and dismayed said 'you meab a poor tiger died so you can have a ring" Needless to say laughter followed that declaration. I'm not blond but I never saw or heard of a tiger eye gemstone before. Live and learn.
Some time later the same guy stopped by my desk asking for a donation for "The 12 Tribes of Israel" I told him if the Israelis wanted money they can take up their own collection. Come to find out he wasn't collection donations for Israel, but for his church choir, that was their name.
Geez.....how was I to know!
