Chakra: third eye chakra
Star sign: fishing
The Shiva’s eye shell is the operculum, a natural 'lid', of a marine mollusc, often of the Turban (Turban) snail. This hard plate seals the opening of the shell when the animal retreats, and thus serves as protection. The name ‘Shiva’s Eye’ refers to the mythical third eye of the Hindu god Shiva, the eye that sees beyond the physical world and symbolises intuition, insight and inner knowledge.
Shiva’s Eye is found in Thailand, India, Indonesia and Australia, amongst other places, particularly in tropical coastal areas where these sea snails are found in abundance. Natural erosion causes the operculum to become detached and wash up on beaches, where it is then collected.
General operation
This unique stone bears the spiral shape of the Golden Ratio, the universal mathematical principle that is also found in nature, art and architecture. This divinely proportioned form reflects harmony, growth and the path of the soul. The spiral is also a powerful symbol of evolution, rebirth and the connection between heaven and earth.
The Shiva Eye acts as a spiritual shield. Just as the operculum protects the snail, this stone protects your energy field against negativity and spiritual attacks.
This stone stimulates the third eye chakra (Ajna) and opens the doors to higher wisdom. It helps you to trust your intuition and receive clear insights, particularly during meditation or dream work.
Shiva’s Eye helps you break free from old patterns and ways of thinking. It encourages you to let go of what no longer serves you, so that you can make room for new, healthy habits and beliefs.
Meditating with this stone brings clarity regarding your life’s purpose and supports you in making important decisions. It is a companion for those who are at the start of a spiritual journey or are going through a transitional phase, for example, the awakening of consciousness in the fifth dimension, where unity, love and light are central.

It is best not to clean Shiva’s eye with water. Read here more information on cleaning and charging.
