Tiger eye is the stone for when you know what you want to do and keep talking yourself out of it. Steadiness more than courage. It helps you look at a decision without the panic underneath it.

Tiger eye is a quartz with fibrous inclusions, which is what creates the shifting sheen. This piece has been shaped and polished into a four sided pyramid. Banding and color depth vary from piece to piece.
