Tiger Iron is a powerful and grounding stone that provides both energy and stability. The name refers to the stripes and colours in the stone, which are reminiscent of a tiger. Tiger Iron is a combination of Tiger’s Eye, Haematite and Red Jasper, giving it both grounding and stimulating properties. Each layer of the stone possesses its own unique properties; together, they form a stone full of power and balance.
Tiger’s eye is formed deep within the earth, where various minerals slowly fuse together under heat and pressure. This is how the stone acquires its distinctive stripes and shades. Tiger’s eye is mainly found in Australia and South Africa, regions rich in minerals and powerful energies.
General operation
Tiger’s Eye is often recommended for people who struggle to feel properly grounded. If you are not properly grounded, your body cannot channel energy effectively into the earth, which can lead to tiredness, a lack of energy and a feeling that life is a struggle. Ordinary daily tasks can then feel like enormous challenges. Tiger’s eye helps you regain energy and stability, so that you can get back on track and feel powerful again.
In addition, Tiger’s Eye acts as a protective stone, particularly if you are very open to others or tend to lose energy easily. The stone helps to close the solar plexus chakra, meaning you are less affected by energy leaks or so-called “energy vampires”. This ensures that you retain your strength and are better protected against external influences.
Tiger’s Eye also promotes focus, courage and perseverance, and helps you let go of old patterns. You can carry the stone with you, place it on a chakra where you need extra strength, or use it during meditation to balance your energy. Whether you need peace, protection, energy or inner strength, Tiger Iron helps you remember your own potential and gives you the energy to experience life in a lighter, easier way.
Care
Tiger’s eye can be cleaned and charged in any way; however, it is best not to expose the stone to too much water. Read here more information on cleaning and charging.
