Tiger's Eye

Tiger eye is distinguished by chatoyancy, an optical effect that creates a moving band of light resembling the narrow reflection in a cat’s eye. Golden, bronze and deep brown layers give the stone a warm, grounded character.
Modern gemstone traditions connect tiger eye with courage, practical confidence and the ability to act without losing sight of consequences. Instead of promising success, it can be worn as a reminder to combine ambition with patience and careful judgment.
Tiger eye works well alone or beside black obsidian, red string, hematite-like metals and Pixiu or dragon motifs. Natural banding changes from bead to bead, and the brightest reflection will only appear when the stone meets the light at the correct angle.
