Tiger’s Eye

Advantages

Throughout the centuries, Tiger’s Eye has always been a beloved gemstone because of its fascinating colours.  Many people, especially children, are attracted to this stone because of its exceptional beauty.  This stone has also long been used in gemstone therapy because of its warming power, which is due to the amount of iron it contains.  It is the perfect stone to boost your self-confidence.

Tiger’s eye protects against negative external influences and is especially known for this property.

General Information

With its golden brown colour and iron compounds, Tiger’s Eye is a quartz.  This popular stone is characterised by its cat’s eye effect.  Light reflection often causes a crack in the stone, which is reminiscent of a cat’s or tiger’s eye.  The typical alternation of darker and lighter parts in the rock is due to the alternation of iron compounds.  Depending on the colour variation, this gemstone gets a different name;  for example, the red variant is called Cat’s Eye, the blue Falcon’s Eye and the golden brown Tiger’s Eye.

Tiger’s Eye is mainly mined in South Africa, India, Mexico, the US and Australia.

Physical  Healing Properties

On the physical level, Tiger’s Eye mainly affects our vitality.  This stone strengthens our nervous system as well as our endocrine system and digestive system. It stimulates our blood circulation and improves our blood composition.  It also helps open up our airways and counteract all kinds of throat-related complaints such as colds, sore throats, bronchitis and lung complaints.

● hepatitis

● muscle cramps

● asthmatic complaints

● poor vision or hearing

Always consult a doctor in case of health complaints.  Gemstones are supportive, but can never be seen as a substitute for medical or professional help.
