• The color of the Tiger's eye is at the origin of its name, in fact the characteristic colors of this stone (shimmering shades of golden yellow and brown) are reminiscent of the iris and the tiger's coat. Due to its symbolism, the tiger was the ideal animal to designate this stone, since it embodies strength and protection, mainly in Chinese culture. Since the Middle Ages, this stone has been used as protection, mounted as a talisman. It was also used to obtain luck and goods. Finally, in Scotland, the tiger's eye symbolized prosperity, and it was said to bring wealth to anyone who wore this stone. According to traditions, it protects against snakes, vampires and curses. It is said that Tiger's eye is to the mineral world what garlic is to the plant world.

Cleaning, recharging, reprogramming:

• Cleaning with clear spring water or filtered water (never salt in the water. Salt alters the structure of the mineral and the abyss). Soak the mineral overnight in an unmarked glass container, and then take it out in the morning to rinse it with new spring or filtered water.
• Direct recharge on a crystal or amethyst druse, in a crystal or amethyst geode. You can also place a dozen laser or rock crystals in a circle (like a time dial), points toward the center, and place your minerals in the center to recharge them. Another method, place your minerals in a singing bowl: Tibetan or crystal bowl, (on a cotton cloth to avoid bowl/mineral vibrations), then ring the bowl to fill your minerals with this sound energy. Last method, place your minerals on a disc (wood or mineral) engraved with the flower of life or the seal of Solomon or any other forms of sacred geometry.
• Reprogramming: Reprogramming consists not of telling your mineral what it should or should not do, but of putting the mineral in resonate with you to ask him to do what he needs to do, for you. Reprogramming must be done after each cleaning and must remain simple. Example of reprogramming: "I ask this mineral to bring me all the virtues and benefits on different levels, for my greatest good as well as for the greatest good of the people around me."
