Tiger Eye Meaning & Benefits
The stone of courage and focus
Tiger Eye is instantly recognisable by its silky, shifting golden bands, which seem to move as the stone turns in the light, like the eye of a big cat. Roman soldiers are said to have carried it into battle for courage.
It is a confident, grounding stone, loved by people who want to feel steady, focused and ready to act.
