Tiger's eye is a tiger-striped mineral with yellow and brown colors. It is formed from amosite, which is one of the six varieties of fibers whose commercial name is asbestos. Silica has gradually replaced these fibers through the phenomenon of pseudomorphosis (one mineral appears with the appearance of another).

This stone, like all stones bearing the name eye, belongs to the family of microcrystalline quartz. There is also the red-brown bull's eye (which in some cases is a heated tiger's eye), the hawk's eye with blue reflections, the iron eye with metallic reflections. These stones have a remarkable chatoyancy. This is an optical effect formerly called cat's eye.

The name tiger's eye appeared later in Europe, due to its resemblance to the eye of the wild animal. In reality, it is the fibers of the stone that display a gradient of colors, changing depending on the viewing angle. There is also the golden tiger's eye. This is a tiger's eye with golden yellow colors.

Tiger's eye is an opaque and hard stone. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. In comparison, diamond has the highest hardness, 10 on the same scale. Nowadays, this stone is widely used in jewelry making. It is also used in lithotherapy because of its energetic powers.

In lithotherapy, the tiger's eye, like many stones containing the name eye, has strong protective powers. It is also an anchoring stone. It protects its wearer from harmful influences by sending them back to their transmitter. Thus, it makes him aware of the consequences of his actions.

This stone develops self-confidence and confidence in others. It promotes introspection and allows you to discover the origin of certain emotional blockages. It reveals the true personalities of the people you meet. It brings courage and boldness, strengthens determination and confidence. By lowering emotional barriers, friendly and romantic relationships are more harmonious.

Tiger's Eye brings calm and balance. This mineral helps to overcome negative emotions, such as worry, anxiety, restlessness and shyness. It is ideal for protecting yourself from jealous and envious people. It engenders autonomy, a strong independence of mind and a beautiful freedom of thought.

This mineral brings energy and vitality. It develops the desire to make projects and achieve one's goals. It is perfect for students, people in training or retraining. It increases concentration and memorization.

This stone helps creativity and improves open-mindedness. It gives the possibility to overcome life's difficulties. It stimulates the will and allows better self-affirmation.
