Vintage Goldtone Tigers Eye Leaf Brooch - 1970s

This 1970s glamourous gold-tone Leaf styled brooch sports a large Tiger's Eye cabochon stone. Did you know that this particular mineral is said to have healing/protective properties, and this is why Roman soldiers sometimes sported Tiger's Eye stones sewn into their uniforms to protect them in battle? What was the wearer protecting themselves from in the 1970s then, I wonder?! Fastener is a round hinge and safety clasp. Approx 1.5 inches in size.
