Black Tiger's Eye

The Stone of Protection and Courage

Science & Origin

Black Tiger’s Eye is a variety of Tiger’s Eye, a Pseudocrocidolite, a unique chatoyant stone known for its striking, silky appearance and deep, rich colors. Its chatoyancy comes from the Crocodolite fibers within the stone that has yet to be fully crystallized into Limonite. Black Tiger's Eye has a deep, dark hue, often ranging from dark brown to black with golden or copper-like flashes, created by the internal structure of the mineral. It was first discovered in the early 20th century and has since become a popular crystal for its protective and grounding qualities. Black Tiger’s Eye is a variety of Quartz with iron and titanium inclusions that give it its characteristic shimmering and chatoyant effect. While Tiger’s Eye is typically golden or brown, the black variety is rarer and considered especially powerful for protection, courage, and strength. Black Tiger’s Eye has been used for centuries by various cultures for its metaphysical properties, such as enhancing mental clarity, courage, and resilience. Known for its strong energy, Black Tiger’s Eye is used in crystal healing to support physical endurance and emotional strength.
