These Tiger's Eye Crystal Shards are sourced from the mineral-rich regions of South Africa, where they form under unique geological conditions.
Formation:
Tiger's Eye is a member of the quartz family and is known for its silky luster and bands of gold and brown. It forms when quartz replaces the fibrous mineral crocidolite, creating its distinct chatoyancy, or "cat's eye" effect. This beautiful stone forms in layers of quartz that are later broken down into shards, maintaining the dynamic, layered appearance that reflects light in mesmerizing ways. Its formation is the result of millions of years of tectonic activity and mineral transformation.
Spiritual Properties:
Tiger's Eye is often referred to as the "Stone of Courage" and is known for its grounding and protective qualities. It is believed to bring balance, strength, and confidence to its users. Tiger's Eye helps to focus the mind, promote mental clarity, and is said to protect against negative energies. It is also known to assist in decision-making by encouraging clear thinking and dispelling fear or anxiety.
How to Use:
Use Tiger's Eye shards in spaces where you need to harness focus, determination, and protection. They are perfect for meditation, helping to ground energy and promote courage. Carrying Tiger's Eye can offer confidence and support during difficult decisions or important life changes. It is also popular for protection, especially in spaces where you need to feel secure and stable.
Where to Display:
Tiger's Eye is ideal for places where focus and grounding are needed, such as workspaces, home offices, or creative studios. Placing it near windows can enhance its reflective qualities and allow light to accentuate its golden bands. For a sense of protection, it is often placed near entryways or personal spaces. Its dynamic appearance also makes it a striking decorative piece that adds warmth and energy to any room.
