japanese culture and the tigers eye

Okay so it's an odd question but...

Does anyone know if the semi precious stone called tigers eye (a rich brown and goldish hue) might be offensive to the japanese culture?

My husband wishes to give a gift made of tigers eye to a colleague who is very traditional japanese and doesn't want to offend accidentally.

I just looked it up in my little apache tears book and it's supposed to bring wealth, good luck and protection so I can't see why it would.

It doesn't say anything about it having any offensive or bad meanings.
