Tiger's Eye Necklace

Tiger’s Eye is a most ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, revered and feared. It offers us the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors. It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision. Linked to the magical tiger, the king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrays courage, integrity, and the rightful use of power. Roman soldiers carried Tiger’s Eye to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting resources and reflecting back malice or threats from others.

This marvelous stone of the Golden Ray is still as captivating as it was in the past, with chatoyant layers that dance like shafts of light through a dense forest. It is warm and radiant, synthesizing the frequencies of Sun and Earth to bring stability and awareness, while integrating the spiritual and physical realms.

It teaches balance between extremes, moving us out of the world of duality, right and wrong, good and bad, dark and light, and provides us an understanding of the underlying unity behind apparent opposites. It brings more practical and compassionate reasoning to our choices and helps us reflect Spirit through each action taken.

One of the most effective of the eye formation stones, Tiger’s Eye is ever vigilant, bringing sharpness to our inner vision and a better understanding of the cause and effect of each situation. It encourages us to use our powers wisely, and allows scattered information to be brought together to a cohesive whole.

Tiger’s Eye supports necessary change in all aspects of life, strengthening the will and clarity of intention in order to manifest at the highest level. It inspires creativity and utilizing talents and abilities, and is superb for stimulating wealth and the good judgment needed to maintain it.

Tiger’s Eye is a variety of macrocrystalline Quartz known for its remarkable chatoyancy and rich layers of gold and brown color. It is thought to be a pseudomorph of Quartz, formed as layers of Crocidolite, fibrous blue asbestos, were replaced over time by Chalcedony Quartz, while still retaining the original shape of the asbestos fibers. A later theory proposes a simultaneous growth of the minerals through a crack-seal vein-filling process. In either case, iron from the decomposed Crocidolite oxidized to its brown color, and reflection of the light on the random fibers produces the gleaming chatoyancy.
