Bull's Eye Jewelry

Bull's eye jewelry exudes an energy of quiet strength. Its warm, deep reddish-brown reflections, which shimmer under the light with that characteristic chatoyancy, give each piece of jewelry an earthy and powerful character. Bull's eye is actually tiger's eye naturally heated by the earth. Under the effect of geothermal heat, the golden crocidolite fibers of tiger's eye have oxidized further, transforming the golden hues into mahogany red and deep brown shades. It's the same mineral, the same chatoyancy, but with a warmer, more rooted, more earthy energy. The result is a quartz with lively reflections that recalls the deep and calm gaze of a bull.

In lithotherapy, bull's eye is a stone of strength, grounding, and perseverance. It works on the root chakra with a dense and stable energy. Where tiger's eye gives confidence and protects with a fast, solar energy, bull's eye grounds more deeply and provides enduring strength over time. It is the marathon runner's stone, not the sprinter's. It is recommended for people who need to sustain effort, endure a long trial with constancy, or regain a sense of physical and emotional solidity. It is also a stone renowned for strengthening physical vitality and warming the body in tradition.

Bull's eye pairs very well with tiger's eye (the protection-endurance duo), red jasper (enhanced grounding and vitality), or garnet (passion and regeneration). For a balance between strength and softness, the bull's eye and rose quartz duo works well. For maintenance, a rinse with clear water and recharging in the sun or on a quartz cluster are sufficient. Like tiger's eye, it is a solar stone that loves light. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is a solid stone that can withstand daily wear and tear.
