The Tiger’s Eye – Story of the Stone

Tiger's eye pendantThe meaning of this stones name relates to its resemblance to the eye of a tiger or a cats eye. Tiger’s eye is a very protective stone. It has a powerful, dynamic energy with a watchful quality to it.

It’s usually found in metamorphic rocks, and is a derivative of silica (silicon dioxide) crystals. The stones can be red, or dark yellow, depending on their source and the way they have been cut. The stone is also polished, and when finally prepared, has a very unique sheen that can be both seen and felt. Africa, notably South Africa and Asia are the two biggest producers of the Tiger’s Eye Gemstones.

Specific colours of your tigers eye stone – from golden yellow to deep reds – will also express, in different degrees, a strengthening and grounding energy. Tiger’s eye also has a mystical, opalescent quality to it, and the combination of solid black colour stripes with shimmering golds, browns and reds make for a very special stone indeed.

While it is not really classified as a quartz crystal, it could be said to be in the quartz family, as it is a variety of quartz with inclusions of fibers of gold asbestos which gives it the golden color. In common with quartz crystals, these stones are profound amplifiers of energy, and boost the energy of any other crystals you use it with. Tiger’s Eye is black with iron oxide staining that gives the yellow and golden brown stripes.
