BLue TIger Eye Tumbled

BLue TIger Eye Tumbled is a tumbled stone (shop SKU HSBTG) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Tiger eye is a chatoyant quartz, usually golden-brown, with a silky band of light that moves as the stone is turned. South Africa is a classic source. In crystal traditions, tiger eye is associated with courage and focus. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

• SKU: HSBTG
