Raw tiger's eye has a quality that is both rugged and powerful. In its natural form, before any polishing, one can already discern the characteristic golden and brown bands through the quartz's rough surface.
And when light catches an angle, the chatoyancy appears—that lively reflection that creates all the magic of this stone. In lithotherapy, many practitioners prefer raw tiger's eye for grounding and protection sessions: the intact crystalline structure is believed to diffuse a more direct and intense energy of confidence and strength than a polished version.
Placed on a desk, raw tiger's eye enhances concentration and determination, and helps in making decisions with assurance.
It's a stone highly valued by freelancers and entrepreneurs for its action-oriented energy. In a living space, it protects against negative energies and energizes the atmosphere. Held in the hand during meditation, it grounds deeply and strengthens the feeling of inner security. For maintenance, a rinse with clear water and a few hours of recharging in the sun are sufficient. Tiger's eye is a solar stone; it loves direct light.
