Tiger's Eye — The Stone of Courage
Primary Intention: Courage
Solar Plexus Chakra · Confidence & Personal Power
The Stone
Tiger's Eye is actually fossilized wood that was replaced by quartz and crocidolite fibers millions of years ago. The chatoyancy — that moving stripe of light — happens because these parallel fibers reflect light like a cat's eye. Roman soldiers carried it into battle, believing it gave them courage and clear sight. It's one of the few stones that looks more powerful in motion than standing still.
The Intention: Courage
Courage isn't the absence of fear — it's moving forward anyway. Tiger's Eye is for the woman who knows her worth but needs a reminder. The one about to ask for the raise. The one starting over at 45. The one who's tired of playing small. This stone doesn't give you power — it reminds you of the power you already have.
Who This Is For
The woman about to make a bold move. The leader who sometimes doubts herself. The one who needs to negotiate harder. The entrepreneur pitching her idea. Anyone who needs to walk into a room like she owns it.
How to Wear Tiger's Eye
Tiger's Eye near the temples sharpens perception and focus. In lithotherapy, the chatoyant flash is said to activate the 'inner eye' — seeing clearly in situations where others see confusion.
At 18-20", Tiger's Eye sits near the Solar Plexus — its home chakra. This placement is where lithotherapy says personal power originates. The stone's golden stripe catches light and attention at the perfect level.
Right wrist = the projecting hand. In crystal healing, a Solar Plexus stone on the dominant hand amplifies personal authority in every action. Touch before negotiations, presentations, or any moment requiring courage.
Index finger in lithotherapy represents authority, ambition, and leadership — Tiger's Eye's core energies. This classic pairing puts confidence into every pointed gesture and firm handshake.
What Tiger's Eye Wearers Say
"I put this ring on before my salary negotiation. Got 15% more than I planned to ask for. The tiger's eye stripe is mesmerizing. my boss actually commented on it during the meeting. Power move jewelry."
"The chatoyancy on this stone is incredible. it shifts from honey gold to deep brown as you move. I've seen tiger's eye in cheap settings that kill the effect. This one lets the stone be the star. Exactly right."
"Bought this for my teenage daughter who's being bullied at school. She wears it as her 'bravery bracelet.' She said the other day: 'Mom, I don't think the stone is magic, but it reminds me that I am.' Worth every penny."
