A little piece of living nature: this tiger eye, in its raw, uncut form, honours the stone's origin. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About tiger eye
Tiger eye is a golden-brown quartz with a silky lustre; its fibrous internal structure creates the rippling band of light known as chatoyancy. It has a Mohs hardness of around 7 and is mined chiefly in South Africa. It typically measures 8 cm.
Tiger Eye in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of courage and protection, associated with grounding and self-confidence. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
A warm, hand-friendly stone many like to carry in a pocket or keep on a working desk through the day. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size, shape and pattern may differ a little from the photo — which is exactly what makes the stone you receive one of a kind. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources and harsh chemicals; keep the softer stones from lasting moisture as well.
