Red Tiger's Eye
Being brave out loud.
What the tradition reads it as
Ordinary tiger's eye taken to a deeper heat — by the earth, or by a kiln. Crystal tradition puts it where nerve is the thing in short supply, and specifically where that nerve has to be visible to other people.
When people wear it
The interview, the pitch, the conversation you have been rehearsing in the shower.
What you are actually holding
Same chatoyant fibre structure as gold tiger's eye, with the iron oxidised to red. Most red material on the market is heat-treated, ours included and disclosed; the band of light is a single moving line that shifts when you shift.
How to look after it
7 Mohs and hard-wearing. Avoid further heat — a hot car dashboard or a jeweller's torch can push the colour again. Otherwise soap and water.
Red tiger's eye is ordinary tiger's eye that the earth — or a kiln — has taken to a deeper heat. In crystal tradition it is worn when nerve is the thing in short supply: the interview, the pitch, the conversation you have been rehearsing in the shower. The chatoyant band is a single line of light that moves when you move.
In a reading
Traditionally worn for nerve when it has to be visible.
