Tiger eye multi-bead bracelet, 8 mm, faceted

Tiger's eye is mineralogically a pseudomorph: crocidolite fibers (riebeckite asbestos) have been replaced by quartz (SiO₂), while the fibrous structure has been preserved. The golden -yellow to golden-brown coloration is created by the oxidation of iron – the precursor is the blue hawk's eye; if both colors occur in one stone, it is referred to as tiger's eye-hawk's eye. The spectacular chatoyancy effect (cat's eye effect) is created by the play of light on the parallel fibers. Mohs hardness 7. This bracelet is available in two sizes: S (approx. 16–17 cm) and M (approx. 18–19 cm). Mining locations: South Africa, Australia, India, Myanmar, USA.

Significance in Crystal Healing

Tiger's eye is considered a protective and lucky stone as well as a stone of concentration and perseverance. It is said to strengthen stamina, help with learning, and act as a lucky stone for school and university. It is thought to be associated with the solar plexus chakra. These attributions are based on handed-down tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
