Tiger's Eye Flame, 3.5 Inch Polished Golden Chatoyant Freeform with a Dark Iron Band, Freestanding Crystal Point

This is the tiger's eye that made people fall for tiger's eye in the first place. Shaped into a tall flame with a swept point, it is all silky golden brown bands that flash and roll as you turn it, the chatoyant shimmer moving across the stone like light on a cat's eye. Through the middle runs a bold dark band, glossy black and rust, where a darker iron rich layer cuts across the gold, so the piece reads as two textures in one, satin and ink.

It stands on a flat base without a wobble and it is a good size for a desk, a bedside table or a shelf where the light can move across it, because that is when tiger's eye does its trick. Turn it under a lamp and the bands ripple.

Tiger's eye is the stone of nerve. It is read as a stone of confidence and clear seeing, the one people carry into a hard meeting or a big decision, and it has a long reputation for grounding without dulling, keeping your feet on the floor and your eyes open at the same time. The flame shape is taken as focus and drive, energy that rises to a point, so a tiger's eye flame is often kept where work gets done. The dark band through this one is read as the steadying note, the earth under the fire.
