Tiger's Eye

Tiger’s Eye – The Stone of Courage, Protection & Power

Tiger’s Eye, known as the Stone of Courage, is a golden-brown chatoyant quartz with silky bands that shimmer like a watchful feline eye. This tiger's eye crystal is revered for its grounding strength, protective symbolism, and association with turning fear into focused confidence.

Ancient warriors and mystics trusted the tiger eye stone as a talisman of protection, willpower, and clear sight—and in India it remains a favourite for nazar (evil eye) protection.

What Is Tiger’s Eye?

Tiger’s Eye forms when crocidolite fibres are gradually replaced by silica while retaining their fibrous structure. This creates the stone’s signature chatoyancy—an optical shimmer resembling a cat’s eye.

Varieties include golden-brown, red, blue (Hawk’s Eye), black, green and rainbow tiger’s eye, as well as tiger iron. Sourced mainly from South Africa, India, Australia, Brazil, and Namibia, it ranks 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the most durable crystals for everyday bracelets, malas and palm stones.
