Usage Guidance
↑ Back to Top
Tiger Eye is not a medical treatment and should not replace professional care. Keep small pieces away from children and pets; avoid ingestion or crystal elixirs. Use stable placement and follow the core profile's material-specific care guidance. If it feels overly stimulating during meditation or rest, shorten the session or move it farther from the resting area.
Crystal Care Guide
Cleanse, recharge and preserve your crystal with confidence.
Care Instructions
Care & Handling
Tiger Eye is reasonably durable for ordinary jewellery but remains brittle and may chip or fracture under hard impact. Protect it from strong knocks, abrasive contact, harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes. Treated, fractured, glued or jewellery-mounted material requires more conservative care. Avoid grinding, sanding or creating mineral dust from unidentified rough material.
Water Exposure
Brief cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap is generally suitable for intact, untreated polished Tiger Eye, followed by rinsing and prompt drying. Avoid prolonged soaking where treatment, fractures, adhesives, stringing or metal components are present. Do not use Tiger Eye to prepare drinking-water crystal infusions or elixirs.
Sunlight Exposure
Natural untreated golden-brown Tiger Eye is generally stable under ordinary light. Avoid prolonged intense sunlight, excessive heat and sudden temperature changes, particularly for dyed, heat-treated, coated, glued or mounted material.
Salt Cleansing
Direct dry-salt and salt-water cleansing are not recommended. Salt may abrade polished surfaces, enter fractures and affect treatments, adhesives, stringing or metal components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you may want to know before and after welcoming Tiger Eye into your collection.
What is Tiger Eye?
Tiger Eye is scientifically identified as Tiger's Eye / Chatoyant Quartz. Its governed mineral profile identifies it as Predominantly silicon dioxide, SiO₂, as microcrystalline to macrocrystalline quartz containing aligned fibrous and iron-bearing components responsible for its characteristic colour and chatoyancy. Goethite and related iron oxides/hydroxides commonly contribute golden-brown coloration. Composition and proportions vary between specimens..
What is Tiger Eye traditionally associated with?
In contemporary crystal-healing and metaphysical traditions, Tiger Eye is associated with courage, confidence, grounding, protection, focus, motivation, prosperity and balanced decision-making.
Can Tiger Eye go in water or sunlight?
Water: Brief cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap is generally suitable for intact, untreated polished Tiger Eye, followed by rinsing and prompt drying. Avoid prolonged soaking where treatment, fractures, adhesives, stringing or metal components are present. Do not use Tiger Eye to prepare drinking-water crystal infusions or elixirs.
Sunlight: Natural untreated golden-brown Tiger Eye is generally stable under ordinary light. Avoid prolonged intense sunlight, excessive heat and sudden temperature changes, particularly for dyed, heat-treated, coated, glued or mounted material.
Why may my Tiger Eye look different from the product photographs?
Natural pieces may display straight, curved or irregular fibrous bands, variable chatoyancy, colour zoning, iron-rich areas, fractures, quartz-rich zones and differences in fibre orientation. The strength and movement of the cat's-eye band depend strongly on cutting orientation and internal structure.
Photography, studio lighting and individual screen settings can also affect appearance. Natural crystal products may therefore vary from the photographs shown, and no two natural pieces should be expected to look completely identical.
How does AGC evaluate the authenticity and quality of this crystal?
AGC evaluates the crystal through the product’s governed identity, material facts, disclosed natural variation and the evidence-aware AGC Verdict. We do not treat an unsupported “Lab Verified” or “Certified” label as proof.
How will my crystal product be packaged and delivered?
Orders are normally processed within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation. Estimated delivery within India is 5–8 business days after dispatch and tracking is shared by email or SMS once shipped. Packaging varies by product, so no unverified box type is promised here.
What if I receive a damaged, defective or incorrect product?
