Tiger Eye Palm Stone

Overview
The Tiger Eye Palm Stone is a smooth, polished crystal known for its rich golden-brown tones and distinctive silky shimmer that moves across the surface under light. This reflective effect, known as chatoyancy, gives Tiger Eye its dynamic appearance and has made it one of the most recognisable and admired grounding stones for centuries.

Designed to sit comfortably in the hand, palm stones—also called worry stones—are used in mindfulness and crystal practices to encourage calm focus and emotional balance. Holding and gently rubbing the stone can help ease stress, ground scattered thoughts, and create a soothing tactile experience throughout the day.

Its combination of warmth, strength, and visual depth makes it especially popular for confidence, motivation, and grounding support.

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 creates its characteristic chatoyancy—a 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 banding.
