TIGER EYE
Picture 1
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: Tigereye is a type of quartz that is chatoyant from inclusions of crocidolite abestos. It is lusterous yellow to brown, vitreous, greasy luster and the streak is white. The hardness is 7.
ENVIRONMENT: Quartz is an important rock-forming mineral and developed in many different environments.
OCCURRENCE: Beautiful Tigereye comes from Austria and South- West Africa, mainly near Griquatown.
GEMSTONE INFORMATION: This stone is normally tumbled or cut into cabochons. It is very rare to find a piece larger than 2" across.
NAME: The name is from the appearance of the stone, banded browns and golden yellows.
LEGEND and LORE: The various "eye" stones have always been considered strong talismans. It was believed that a person possessing one could see everything, even behind closed doors. Egyptians carved it into god figurines, to represent divine vision.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: "Tiger's-eye is a fine stone for promoting wealth and money. A simple money spell involves empowering several tiger's-eyes with your need for money. Use them to surround a green candle. Light the candle and visualize." (4)
HEALING: This stone is soothing for emotional turmoil. It will help you to see things in the best light. It is optimistic! It also promotes courage and strength. This stone is also used traditionally, for diseases of the eye.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I use Tigereye as a stone to help my clients "see clearly" emotional issues that they are having trouble dealing with. Because it allows them to look at things both objectively and optimistically...and hopefully learn whatever lessons are needed and move onward. In addition, I find that Tigereye can aid in visualization, especially during past-life regressions.
NOTES: The Crocidolite that causes the chatoyancy in Tigereye is normally blue.
Oxidation changes it to a brown color. (Unoxidized Tigereye is called Hawkseye, and is a blue chatoyant mineral.)
