Tiger Eye Heart

Overview
The Tiger Eye Heart is a beautifully polished crystal carved into the timeless shape of a heart—combining the warm, grounding energy of natural Tiger Eye with the universal symbol of love, confidence, and emotional strength.

Heart stones are especially cherished in crystal practices for emotional and heart-centered work. Holding a heart stone during stressful or emotionally overwhelming moments can create a calming tactile experience while encouraging reassurance, balance, and inner stability. They are often used to support self-love, emotional resilience, and a more centred, confident mindset.

Tiger Eye is especially admired for its rich golden-brown tones and silky reflective shimmer that moves across the surface under light—an optical effect known as chatoyancy. Its bold appearance and grounding energy make this heart carving both visually striking and energetically empowering.

Geological Origin & Composition

Tiger Eye is a variety of quartz formed through the pseudomorphic replacement of crocidolite fibres by silica while preserving the stone’s fibrous internal structure. This process creates its signature chatoyancy—the moving band of reflected light across the surface.

Major sources include South Africa, Australia, India, and Namibia. High-quality Tiger Eye is especially valued for strong shimmer, rich golden tones, and clear natural banding.
