Tiger’s Eye

Tigers eye is a form of quartz with a silky band of light that moves across its surface as you turn it, much like the eye of a cat. That shimmer comes from fine fibres sealed inside the stone. Golden brown is the classic colour, alongside red tigers eye and blue tigers eye, which is also known as hawks eye.

Tigers eye meaning

In crystal tradition, tigers eye is a stone of confidence, courage and steady focus. It is linked with the solar plexus and sacral chakras, and astrologically with Leo and Capricorn. Many people keep a piece close when they need to stand their ground, make a decision or follow something through.

How to use tigers eye

Carry a tumblestone in your pocket or purse, keep one on your desk, or hold it while you set an intention at the new moon. Raw pieces suit an altar or a crystal grid. Tigers eye sits well beside smoky quartz for grounding and citrine for confidence and abundance.

Caring for tigers eye

Tigers eye is a hard, durable stone. Wipe it with a soft cloth, and cleanse it with sound, smoke or moonlight whenever it feels like it needs a reset.
