Tiger eye multi-bead bracelet 4 mm faceted

Mineralogically, tiger's eye is a pseudomorph: crocidolite fibers (riebeckite asbestos) have been replaced by quartz (SiO₂), while the fibrous structure has been preserved.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 caused by the oxidation of iron – its 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 (cat's eye effect) is created by the play of light on the parallel fibers. Mohs hardness 7. The delicate 4 mm faceted beads are the most intricate model in the tiger's eye collection – ideal for a layering look. Origins: 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 endurance. It is said to strengthen perseverance, assist in learning, and act as a lucky charm for school and university. It is believed 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.
