Tiger eye is the stone of the warrior and the wise — a golden-brown chatoyant gemstone that shimmers with the fierce, focused energy of its namesake. Formed when quartz replaces crocidolite fibres, tiger eye displays a distinctive silky lustre known as chatoyancy, giving it the appearance of a living, moving light within the stone. It is found primarily in South Africa and Australia.
Tiger eye works with the solar plexus and root chakras to build courage, confidence, and grounded strength. It is a stone of focused action — helping us to see clearly, make decisions with conviction, and move through challenges without being overwhelmed by fear or self-doubt. It also offers protection and was historically carried by soldiers and travellers as a talisman of safety.
We reach for tiger eye when we need to be brave — when we’re facing a challenge, making a big decision, or simply need to stand a little taller and trust in our own strength.
Wear tiger eye on your dominant wrist to activate your personal power throughout the day. It pairs beautifully with citrine to amplify confidence and abundance, or with hematite for deep grounding and resilience.
