Materials and size
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.
Traditional uses
People have collected and carried stones as amulets for thousands of years. 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. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.
How to use it
- Keep it in a pocket, on a desk or in a crystal grid.
- Hold it during meditation as a point of focus.
- It pairs traditionally with citrine or carnelian.
- Journalling idea: note the date you bought it and what drew you to it; collectors enjoy looking back on how a collection grew.
- Shelf idea: group stones by colour, from deep to pale, for a display that reads like a gradient.
- Meditation idea: rest it in an open palm and use its weight and temperature as a point of focus for five slow breaths.
Care
- Wipe with a fine, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; steer clear of soaps, salt and long soaks.
- Dust softly; check whether the stone tolerates water.
