## Description

Gemstone Obelisk Point approx 5cm - Tiger Eye is a polished tiger's eye point around 5cm tall, cut with flat faces that rise to a tip.

At around 5cm this is the small, palm-sized option: easy to tuck into a pocket, a pouch or a bedside drawer. Small pieces suit rings and earrings, a single tumble stone, travel kits and tight altar spaces.

From the maker: Golden brown tones and natural banding give this Tiger Eye Gemstone Obelisk Point a warm and distinctive look. The polished finish highlights the stone’s natural shimmer, creating an eye-catching decorative accent for desks, shelves, or bedside tables.

The Gemstone Obelisk Point approx 5cm range comes in 10 versions. If Tiger Eye isn't quite right, compare Tourmaline or Afghan Lapis or African Amethyst.

Tiger's Eye is quartz with fibrous inclusions that create chatoyancy, typically golden brown with a silky, shifting band of light. It measures 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz replacing crocidolite fibres.

The shifting band of light is called chatoyancy, from the French for 'cat's eye'. Gold tiger's eye is the classic honey-brown form; blue and red forms also exist.

Size: approximately 5cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

The obelisk shape echoes the monuments of ancient Egypt, which pointed toward the sun. Roman soldiers are said to have carried tiger's eye for courage, and it remains associated with confidence and focus. In modern crystal tradition tiger's eye is linked with the solar plexus chakra and with Leo and Capricorn. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims.

## How to use

- Stand it upright on a flat surface or altar.
- Some people rest a point on a written intention or in a crystal grid.
- It pairs traditionally with citrine or carnelian.
- Placement idea: a windowsill that catches the morning light (but not harsh midday sun) shows off colour and inclusions beautifully.
- Desk idea: keep it beside your keyboard as a cue to pause, breathe and look away from the screen for a moment.
- Bedside idea: some people hold a stone for a minute before sleep and set one small intention for the next day.

## Care

- Wipe with a fine, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; steer clear of soaps, salt and long soaks.
- Protect the tip from knocks; store it upright or wrapped.
