About Red Tiger’s Eye

Red Tiger’s Eye is a red to reddish-brown variety of Tiger’s Eye, showing the same beautiful chatoyancy that gives the stone its characteristic shifting band of light. Its deeper colour gives Red Tiger’s Eye a distinctly warm, earthy appearance, with individual pieces ranging from subtle rusty tones through to richer reds and dark brown banding.

Like other varieties of Tiger’s Eye, it is a quartz-based material whose fibrous internal structure creates its distinctive silky, reflective appearance when polished.

Red Tiger’s Eye Meaning & Properties

Red Tiger’s Eye is traditionally associated with vitality, motivation, courage and grounded action. While Golden Tiger’s Eye is a stone I particularly associate with confidence, optimism and strengthening our sense of personal power, Red Tiger’s Eye brings more emphasis to energy, momentum and taking action.

Associated with the Base and Sacral Chakras, it can be a meaningful stone to work with when you’re feeling stagnant or want to reconnect with your physical energy, creativity, pleasure and motivation.

The Sacral Chakra is also traditionally associated with sexuality and life-force energy. Rather than the older idea of Red Tiger’s Eye “healing sexual issues,” I prefer to think of it as a stone that can be incorporated into intentions around reconnecting with desire, pleasure and a more grounded relationship with our own life-force energy.

At the same time, it retains the grounding qualities traditionally associated with the wider Tiger’s Eye family, making it an interesting stone for intentions that aren't simply about generating more energy, but directing that energy with greater purpose and stability.
