What is Tigers Eye?

Tigers Eye is a member of the Chalcedony mineral class family. It has a silky luster and an opaque transparency. Tiger’s Eye is commonly a metamorphic rock that comes in shades of reddish brown with iron stripes. The meaning of Tigers Eye is self confidence and inner strength.

Tiger’s Eye invites the wearer to embrace their inner-strength, personal willpower, and to call on the powers of protection. Colored with golden bands, flecks of sand, and smudges of inky black and brown – there’s no disputing the wild force and energy that can be found in this stone. Traditionally the tiger eye gemstone was carried as a protective amulet against the forces of evil. It was said to ward off curses and to keep the wearer safe from ill-wishes. But beyond the powers of protection, the Tiger Eye comes with a whole host of healing properties.

Tigers Eye was so rare it was considered to be an element so precious, its worth was so much higher than gold.

The spirit of the tiger is a reminder of the importance of primal instincts and accepting the shadow self to slink out of the jungle and stand in the light. It nudges people to accept all angles of themselves; from playful pose to predator and protector, because life is unpredictable and personal strength is needed to flourish.
