Tiger's Eye
meaning & properties

The stone of courage and protection.

Tiger’s eye blends protection and confidence. Its shifting golden glints evoke the tiger’s alertness: it’s said to deflect negativity while giving the courage to move forward, decide and hold your ground.

Element: Earth & Fire
Chakra: Solar plexus

Tiger's Eye properties

It’s the decision stone: it grounds courage instead of agitating it.

History & origin

Its shimmer (the “cat’s-eye effect”) comes from fine parallel fibres that catch the light. Roman soldiers carried it, engraved, as a talisman of protection in battle.

Who it's for

For being bold, getting through a season of doubt, or protecting yourself without withdrawing.

Using it day to day

Carry it before an interview or a big decision, hold it and breathe when doubt rises, or set it on your desk as a reminder of your courage. What matters isn't the stone itself, but the attention it invites you to bring to yourself: a crystal is an intention you hold in your hand.

Cleansing & recharging

Cleanse it under running water for a few minutes or with smoke (sage, palo santo), then recharge it overnight under the full moon or on a quartz cluster.
