Tiger's Eye

Tiger’s Eye, a stone associated with the month of June in some traditions, gets its name from its striking resemblance to the golden, feline eye of the tiger. This gemstone belongs to the quartz family and is known for its optical phenomenon called chatoyancy, which creates a silky, shifting shimmer across the surface of the stone.

Used since antiquity, Tiger’s Eye was worn as a protective talisman against curses and the evil eye. Roman soldiers carried it into battle to gain courage and mental clarity. In ancient Egypt, it was believed to reflect the divine light of the sun, offering inner strength and spiritual protection.

Admired for its golden, brown, and coppery reflections, this stone continues to symbolize willpower, grounding, and self-confidence. Its shimmering beauty evokes the quiet strength and watchful power of the tiger — a silent guardian of the earth’s energy.
