Energetic properties
A protective stone that encourages inner focus and awareness of the bigger picture. It shields against negative external influences and provides insight into yourself and others. Tiger’s Eye helps you take a step back, maintain perspective, integrate information, and reach your goals. It offers strength, courage, and confidence during difficult times and supports inner conflict, dilemmas, doubt, and indecision. It promotes calm, acts as a pain reliever, and soothes overstimulation of the nervous system. Physically, it has a positive effect on asthma, the eyes, throat, and reproductive organs. It can also be beneficial for people dealing with personality disorders or depression.
Suitable for children from around 2 years old.
Formation
Tiger’s Eye is formed through a metamorphic process involving the fibrous mineral crocidolite, a variant of asbestos. Under high pressure and temperature within the Earth’s crust, crocidolite is transformed into quartz while its fibrous structure is preserved. During this transformation, other mineral inclusions like limonite and hematite are incorporated, giving Tiger’s Eye its distinctive golden, brown, and yellow bands and its shimmering chatoyancy. This unique optical effect resembles the gleam of a tiger’s eye, which is how the stone got its name.
Its typical brown coloration comes from the presence of iron and silica. The golden-brown and dark-brown stripes and patches are caused by variations in mineral concentrations during the stone’s formation.
Etymology
Tiger’s Eye is named for its reflective appearance, which resembles the slit-shaped gleam of a tiger’s eye. This light effect is called chatoyancy. This particular variety is sometimes referred to as 'golden tiger’s eye' or 'brown tiger’s eye'.
Care
Tiger's Eye is relatively hard and durable and doesn’t require special care. It can be cleaned under running water and gently patted dry with a soft cloth. It may also be cleansed and recharged using sage, incense or moonlight.
Origin
Can be found in various places around the world, including South Africa, India, Australia, the United States, Brazil, Canada, Myanmar (Burma), Namibia and other countries.
Availability
Tiger’s Eye is relatively common and found globally, so it’s generally not considered rare. However, it can vary in quality and size, and certain rare forms; such as crystals with internal inclusions or those of exceptional size, can be more valuable.
