Tiger Eye

The stone is known for its powerful ability to deflect threats from ill-wishers and bring courage and luck.

Even in ancient Rome, the power of Tiger Eye was recognized. The stone was embedded in weapons as warriors believed it would instill courage and bravery in them during battle.

Going even further back in history, in ancient Egypt, the crystal played a significant role in functioning as the eyes of deity statues. It was believed that through it, the gods could see what was happening on Earth.

Also called the "All-Seeing Eye," the crystal was considered the master of beasts in Eastern mythology.

Varieties and Their Properties

Tiger Eye is a variety of macrocrystalline quartz. Depending on its composition and colors, it comes in several types.

Hawk’s Eye

This variety resembles the eyes of a predatory bird in ambush. Its colors range from blue to green with shades of gray. Of all the variations, this one is considered the most energetic. It has the property of protecting against malice, jealousy, and nightmares.

In occult circles, it is used to enhance sensory abilities during divination. Although associated with birds, Hawk’s Eye carries the energy of self-analysis. It helps in situations of inner turmoil and aids in finding perspective in complex life situations.

Bull’s Eye

Recognizable by its mahogany hues, this variety is usually found in golden-brown shades. It is associated with willpower. If you are caught in a situation where your temperament takes precedence over rational judgment, this stone will help you cool off. Its stimulating energy is recommended for boosting self-esteem and motivation.

If you feel that your inner energy is blocked, allow the power of Bull’s Eye to restore your enthusiasm. The stone also stimulates the metabolism and increases sexual desire. It is also known as “Red Tiger Eye.”

The universal properties of these varieties are that they help to sharpen the senses and are a good advisor when making important decisions.

Healing Properties

Traditionally, Tiger Eye is used for throat disorders or the so-called “night blindness.” It is said to strengthen the circulatory system, allowing the body to recover. It has a beneficial effect on the endocrine system and the reproductive organs and stimulates fertility.

Although there is no scientific evidence, many practitioners of stone healing believe that Tiger Eye can help with asthma attacks, angina, and high blood pressure.

Placed on the head, the stone balances the two brain hemispheres and helps treat seasonal depression. 

It can also be used for spinal problems, stomach issues, and gallbladder problems.

Zodiac Signs, Chakras, and Feng Shui

Tiger Eye has absorbed the energy of the sun to protect the First and Third Chakras and keep their energy levels balanced.

With its golden color, the stone is an excellent gift for those born in the summer months – July 22 – August 21.

Due to its connection with the planet Mercury, Tiger Eye is associated with the Gemini zodiac sign. Those born under this asign can rely on Tiger Eye jewelry or a talisman to help them see both sides of the coin and ease their inherent sense of restlessness.

As it symbolizes fiery energy, the crystal is associated with the warmth, brightness, and Yang – the energy of action, emotion, and passion. Traditionally, it is placed in the southern part of the home or workplace to improve family relationships.
