Orgonite Tiger Eye Egg | X Large

Not a stone, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Orgonite is a made object: crystals and metal shavings suspended in cured resin. It's based on the work of Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst who in the 1930s and 40s theorised a form of energy he called orgone, and built devices layering organic and inorganic material to interact with it. The modern craft version dates to the 1990s.

There's no scientific consensus behind it, and we'd rather say so than imply one. What's true is that each piece is cast individually, so the internal pattern of metal and crystal is never quite repeated, and people keep them near electronics or in workspaces.

If you're drawn to it, it's worth having. If you want a natural mineral, look at black tourmaline or shungite instead.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

For decisions that need both nerve and clear sight.

Tiger eye has a band of light that moves across the surface as you turn it — chatoyancy, from the French for cat's eye. It happens because the stone began as crocidolite, a fibrous blue mineral, which was gradually replaced by quartz while keeping the fibre structure. Light reflects off those parallel fibres, and the band follows your eye.

Roman soldiers carried it into battle, and it's been used as a talisman against ill wishes across several cultures — the eye that watches back.

Tiger eye is worked with for courage grounded in clear thinking, rather than courage alone. It sits with the solar plexus and root. The stone people suggest when confidence is needed but recklessness isn't.

Turn it under a lamp to find the band.
