Tiger Eye Sun Face Carving

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.

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

Turn it under a lamp to find the band.
