Tiger Eye Orgone Ball

Tiger's eye is quartz that grew through a fibrous mineral and gradually replaced it, keeping the fibre structure intact. Those parallel fibres reflect light as a single moving band — an effect gemmologists call chatoyancy, from the French for cat's eye. Mohs 7. The band of light should move as you turn the stone. A painted or printed imitation keeps its highlight in the same place at every angle. Red and some blue tiger's eye on the market is heat-treated or dyed. Golden-brown tiger's eye is normally natural.

Prolonged strong sunlight can pale the gold tones over months. Keep it off a windowsill and away from bleach and bathroom cleaners, which dull the polish. A sphere will roll, and a fall onto a hard floor is the usual way these are lost. Keep it on a stand or a ring, not loose on a sloping surface.

No. Tiger's eye is traditionally associated with that, and the tradition is genuine and often very old, but there is no scientific evidence that any stone can protect you or ward off the evil eye, or that it produces any physical or psychological effect. Nothing here is medical, psychological or financial advice. What it honestly does is remind you of something you decided yourself.
