Tiger’s Eye portrayed courage, integrity and right use of power. Roman soldiers carried it to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting one’s resources and reflecting back malice or threats from others.
As a member of the rat race I too need to find as much help as the next man. For me a jeweler who makes bracelets I used to choose stones that just looked good. Until attending a crafting event where I sold some of my bracelets to the community in which I live. I ran across another bracelet artisan who had a list of stones and their properties. What I came across was the meaning of a stone that I just love to use, the Tiger Eye bead.
Tiger Eye bead a member of the quartz group. A type of blue asbestos and silica which is naturally found in quartz. If not silicified (converted into or impregnated with silica) it makes a rarer blue color called Hawks eye.
Tiger Eye bead/stone can be used in many types of jewelry; bracelets, necklaces and pendants. It has a certain Feng Shui element that allows the stone to be hung as a wind chime, or artistically to a room or garden. Also its light catching properties make it a great stone to be kept by the door or window. A great stone, it also can be kept in the home for abundance and protection.
Its three main colors are blue, gold, and red which hold a certain inner strength-Gold is for brightness. Red is for heart circulation and blue for high spiritual nature. As a meditative tool allow light to shine on and through this gem for a clearer mind.
Since finding its properties and meaning the stone holds a special place in my life and I usually have this stone close by.
