The Tiger's Eye is a golden-brown stone with changing reflections, known as the “cat's eye” effect. It belongs to the quartz family and contains fibers of crocidolite transformed into silica, hence its characteristic light play.
Used since antiquity as a protective amulet, the Tiger's Eye was believed to ward off the evil eye and bring strength and courage to its wearer. It is associated with the solar plexus chakra, which it energizes to enhance willpower, confidence, and assurance.
Birthstone for the month of May, the Tiger's Eye is ideal for those who wish to overcome their fears, assert their inner voice, and act with strength and clarity. It is commonly worn as a bracelet or pendant, close to the plexus or heart.
