Authentic Tiger Eye Faceted Pendulum – Natural Quartz Mineral for Energy Work

This elegant Tiger Eye Faceted Pendulum is a beautifully cut and polished crystal crafted from genuine Tiger Eye quartz, a natural gemstone known for its captivating golden chatoyancy and protective metaphysical qualities. Each pendulum features a carefully faceted crystal point suspended on a metal chain, perfectly balanced for energy work, divination, and meditation.

All of our specimens are 100% genuine and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The photograph shows the exact pendulum you will receive, with a 1 cm scale cube provided for size reference—please see the photo for full sizing details. The piece has been hand-selected for its colour, clarity, and natural reflective sheen that displays Tiger Eye’s famous silky bands of gold and brown.

Geological Formation and Mineral Origin

Tiger Eye is a variety of microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) formed through the pseudomorphic replacement of crocidolite (blue asbestos). During this transformation, iron oxide infiltrates the fibrous structure of the original mineral, replacing the fibres with silica while retaining their fibrous texture. This process gives Tiger Eye its signature chatoyancy—a shimmering optical effect resembling a cat’s eye—produced when light reflects off the parallel fibres or layers within the stone.

The finest specimens, like this one, come from regions with strong metamorphic activity, most notably South Africa, Western Australia, and parts of India. The Tiger Eye used in this pendulum is sourced from the same geological environments that yield the world’s best examples, characterised by alternating layers of quartz and iron oxide minerals such as hematite and limonite, which produce the deep golden-brown to honey hues visible on each facet.

This mineral formed during the Proterozoic Eon, within banded iron formations that underwent intense hydrothermal alteration. The result is a gem that beautifully captures the geological interplay between silica, iron, and heat deep within the Earth’s crust.

Mineralogical and Physical Characteristics

• Mineral Type: Tiger Eye (Quartz variety)

• Chemical Formula: SiO₂ (with iron oxide inclusions)

• Crystal System: Trigonal

• Hardness: 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale

• Lustre: Silky to vitreous

• Transparency: Opaque

• Fracture: Conchoidal to uneven

• Optical Feature: Chatoyancy (Cat’s Eye Effect)

Tiger Eye exhibits alternating layers of golden, brown, and bronze tones that shift under light. Each facet of the pendulum catches light differently, enhancing the reflective shimmer unique to this gemstone. The stone’s fibrous structure is what gives it both strength and its luminous character—qualities that make it equally desirable as a collector’s mineral and a functional tool for metaphysical use.

Historical and Cultural Significance

For centuries, Tiger Eye has been regarded as a stone of protection, grounding, and insight. Ancient Roman soldiers carried it for courage and clarity in battle, while many cultures have valued it as a symbol of balance between Earth and Sun energies. In crystal traditions, Tiger Eye is believed to assist with focus, decision-making, and emotional stability, helping the user maintain strength and clarity during times of change.

When shaped into a pendulum, these properties are amplified through movement, allowing users to connect with subtle energies and access intuitive guidance. The faceted design not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also improves precision and energetic flow, making this pendulum ideal for both professional dowsers and spiritual practitioners.

Uses and Applications

The Tiger Eye Faceted Pendulum is widely used for:

• Energy Healing: Balancing the solar plexus chakra and promoting confidence and strength.

• Divination: Providing clear responses during pendulum dowsing or spiritual consultation.

• Meditation: Enhancing focus and grounding during mindfulness practices.

• Decorative Display: A natural gemstone piece that also serves as a beautiful display item or gift.

Its faceted form improves sensitivity to micro-movements, allowing more accurate readings during dowsing or chakra alignment. The natural density of Tiger Eye also gives the pendulum an ideal weight for steady, responsive motion.
