History and formation of the tiger eye
Tiger’s eye is a type of microcrystalline quartz with the chemical formula SiO2. Its hardness is seven on the Mohs scale which has ten degrees. It therefore scratches the glass. Its density varies between 2,64 and 2,71.
Its crystal structure is rhombohedral and it contains crocidolite.
Its shimmering colors, golden yellow, bronze, brownish or brown irresistibly evoke the eye of the feline. Translucent or opaque, this undulating stone is one of the fine stones.
If it is not a precious stone, it is a particularly popular piece of jewelry from which bracelets and necklaces are made. In addition to its great aesthetic qualities, it releases positive energies.
The main tiger eye deposits are found in South Africa, Namibia, Central Africa, western United States (California, Arizona), Brazil (Minas Gerais), Australia (gorges de Wittenoom), China (Hunan), Burma, India and Sri Lanka.
The tiger eye plays a role in the mineral world similar to that of garlic in the plant world. It has been worn since Antiquity because it was credited with the virtues of protection against vampires and nocturnal creatures.
Roman legionaries used it in battle as a talisman. In Mesopotamia it was called Eye of Belus, an allusion to Belus-Marduk who was the most powerful of the Babylonian gods, traditionally associated with the planet Jupiter and the god Baal.
The populations of Mesopotamia had therefore measured the full force of this stone. The American Indians called it the wolf’s eye. They were well acquainted with its virtues and used it in war or in hunting.
It is a stone known to shamans who fully integrate it into their rituals. It was used by alchemists, especially in India.
The tiger eye exerts a strong influence on the chakras, in particular on the solar plexus. It is a stone that promotes correspondence and harmony of the senses. It is considered to be a powerful healing tool.
It redistributes positive energy through the body by diffusing itself into the various chakras. The tiger eye puts the mind in unison with the body. It strongly contributes to personal development.
Tiger’s Eye and its physical and emotional benefits
The psychological and emotional properties of tiger eye
The Tiger’s Eye possesses a powerful aura. Its virtues are multiple:
- Protection against the evil eye and black magic:
Protecting oneself from bewitchments generally supposes knowing how to practice white magic which constitutes a complex technique. This is the reason why it is easier to use tiger eye.
The latter acts like a mirror that reflects the spells on their author. It not only protects you but helps to calm down envious people who suffer their own wickedness in return.
It is highly effective if you wear it in the form of a pendant-talisman. It has an effect equivalent to the head of Medusa that Greek soldiers and Roman legionaries wore on their shields.
The latter did not hesitate to associate the head of Medusa with the tiger eye in the form of a talisman. There are many other apotropaic objects (otherwise known as intended to ward off evil spells), the interest of the tiger’s eye is that it is very easy to find, use and inexpensive.
It ensures your protection and peace of mind wherever you work or go on vacation. It is also very discreet and more comfortable to wear than a horseshoe.
- The tiger’s eye keeps narcissistic perverts away
Narcissistic perverts are very malicious manipulators. They search for prey whose qualities they envy to vampirize and destroy them.
They are filled with negative energy. The tiger eye has the same mirror effect on them as it does on wizards and sorcerers. It sends back to narcissistic perverts their negative waves and their own inner emptiness. This causes them to flee.
- Tiger’s Eye attracts benevolent people:
Because it condenses beneficial waves, it attracts positive people around you with whom you can maintain sincere friendships or love. These people will help you move forward in life.
This is the reason why tiger eye is considered a stone of luck.

It is particularly recommended for people who exercise an artistic profession.
