What is tigers eye black?

Tiger's Eye Black, also known as "Black Tiger Eye" or "Black Tiger's Eye," is a variety of the mineral chalcedony. It is a curious stone that has chatoyancy or a unique luster that appears similar to the eyes of a cat when light hits its surface. This chatoyancy is caused by the presence of crocidolite fibers that have been partially replaced by silica.

Tiger's Eye Black typically has a dark brown to black base color with distinctive layers of gold or yellowish-brown color. This stone is believed to offer protection and improve focus and mental clarity.

It is often used for meditation and is thought to provide grounding and stability, helping people to feel centered and calm in the midst of chaos. Additionally, Tiger's Eye Black is associated with the root chakra, which is responsible for grounding and energy transfer.

This stone is commonly used in jewelry making, carvings, and other decorative objects. It is also sometimes used in crystal healing practices and is said to help release fear, anxiety, and emotional baggage. It is important to note that while some people believe in the therapeutic properties of stones and crystals, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims.
