Tiger’s Eye crystals

Tiger’s Eye Meaning: The Crystal of Courage and Action

You already know what you want. That is rarely the problem. The problem is the gap
between knowing and doing, and tiger’s eye is the crystal that lives in that gap.

What is tiger’s eye?

Tiger’s eye is a golden brown variety of quartz with a silky, shifting band of light through it,
called chatoyancy, that resembles the eye of a big cat. Roman soldiers reportedly carried it into battle, and across traditions it has been the stone of courage, willpower and clear
sighted action.

What is tiger’s eye good for?

Tiger’s eye is known as the crystal of courage, confidence and follow-through. It is the stone for the woman who knows exactly what she wants and keeps stopping herself anyway, the one who talks herself out of the idea, delays the decision, waits for a permission slip that is never coming. People work with tiger’s eye before big conversations, bold decisions and first steps, when self-doubt is louder than it deserves to be, and whenever a goal needs steady nerve rather than a burst of motivation.

How to use tiger’s eye

Hold tiger’s eye and ask yourself one question: what would I do today if I trusted myself
completely? Then do the smallest version of that answer. Courage is not the absence of the wobble; it is moving with the wobble still there, and this stone is very good company for that.

Why we paired tiger’s eye with sandalwood and clove

Our Maia candle pairs tiger’s eye with sandalwood and clove, a warm, strong,
unmistakably confident fragrance. Tiger’s eye also anchors our Bold and Fearless Ritual
Pack, made for the woman who is done waiting, with a tiger’s eye bracelet, the Maia
candle and a ritual card that turns intention into action.
