Tiger Iron and Tiger's Eye stones were used by the natives of Ceylon as a charm against evil spirits. Roman soldiers were known to have worn pieces of it engraved with symbols for protection during battle.
Since it has only been known by its current trade name of Tiger Iron for a short time there is not a lot of folklore linked to it specifically. It does appear to have the common theme of attracting abundance and protection though.
