Tiger Eye, also known as the Dragon’s Eye, is traditionally associated with strength, courage, wisdom, vitality and confidence. Its distinctive golden bands and shifting light have long made it a symbol of awareness, determination and the ability to remain steady under pressure.

Closely associated with the Root Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakra, Tiger Eye is traditionally believed to encourage grounding, inner stability and self-confidence. It is often linked with clearer thinking and stronger decision-making, helping the wearer stay focused during periods of uncertainty or challenge.

Tiger Eye is also associated with the archetype of the Seeker — the explorer, wanderer, hunter and thinker who is constantly moving towards new knowledge, experiences and horizons. Its symbolism reflects resilience, curiosity and the courage to move forward with purpose.

Often regarded as a stone of determination and endurance, Tiger Eye represents controlled strength — the ability to remain calm, focused and confident while facing challenges without being overwhelmed by them.

Care: Tiger Eye is relatively durable but should still be protected from hard knocks and prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals. Clean gently with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid strong acids, bleach and excessive heat, and store separately from harder gemstones where possible.
