Tigers Eye

Tiger Eye is a variety of quartz and a pseudomorph (meaning false form) replacement of Crocidolite. It forms when Crocidolite has its chemical fibers replaced by silica. Its colors generally combine golden browns, yellow, beige or tan. This mineral was first reported in 1892 by J.D. Dana and was named after its similarities to an actual tiger’s eye. The most abundant source of Tiger Eye is located beneath South Africa, where most of the material on the market is sourced. However, secondary deposits come from India, Burma, Australia, China, and Brazil.

The Tiger's Eye crystal meaning is known for its combination of properties that promote vitality and physical action. By activating and balancing the third chakra, the solar plexus, Tiger’s Eye properties help you stay grounded and centered, even if you're surrounded by chaos.
