Tiger’s Eye

Tiger’s Eye is a variety of quartz that is super chatoyant (flash). Chatoyancy is due to intergrowth of quartz crystals and amphibole fibers. It is most commonly yellow and brown, has a vitreous luster, a hardness of 7, and is in the Trigonal Crystal System.

Tiger’s Eye improves metabolism as well as digestive and reproductive functions. It is associated with pain relief and bone strength. Additionally, it supports physical strength and endurance and is said to improve reflexes and coordination. It is also said to balance the endocrine system and fortify the blood.

Tiger’s Eye is said to promote a calm, relaxed self-confidence while dispelling any fears or anxieties that are present. It also promotes mental clarity.

Associated with the lower chakras, it is perhaps most beloved for its grounding and protection energies. It serves as a talisman against negative energies and empowers you to stand in your own power and follow your own will.
