Tiger Eye
Physical Information
Tiger’s Eye is a variety of quartz with fibrous inclusions that create its distinctive silky shimmer known as chatoyancy, or the “cat’s eye” effect. Its colours typically range from golden yellow and honey brown to deep reddish-brown tones, producing a warm and reflective appearance that changes beautifully in the light.
Major sources of Tiger’s Eye include South Africa, Australia, India, and Namibia. Due to its striking natural bands and durability, Tiger’s Eye has been valued for centuries in jewellery, carvings, protective talismans, and decorative objects.
Metaphysical Properties
Tiger’s Eye is strongly associated with strength, protection, and personal power. It is believed to help increase confidence, support decision-making, and balance emotions during stressful or uncertain situations. Many people use Tiger’s Eye to improve focus, encourage determination, and strengthen motivation while remaining grounded and calm.
Closely connected to the root and solar plexus chakras, Tiger’s Eye may help support courage, willpower, and emotional stability. Its grounding yet energising vibration makes it especially popular for protection, manifestation, and building inner resilience.
