Tiger Iron: A Stone of Grounding and Connection
Thanks for asking this question, Evelyn!! Others had the same question about Tiger Iron during our live and in chat, so I wanted to take the time to write a thoughtful answer that reflected what attracted us to gather this stone and feature it in the store this year! ❤️
What is Tiger Iron?
Tiger Iron is similar to Tiger’s Eye but enriched with extra iron that gives it a heavier feel in the hand (or the wrist) and can have a vibrant display of red, yellow, and orange hues all at once (or one at a time).
Tiger Iron carries powerful energy. Many believe it brings courage, strength, and a sense of grounding that helps us feel more centered and protected. When life feels chaotic, this stone serves as a beautiful reminder of our inner resilience.
Iron, Earth, and Our Bodies
The stone's rich colors come from iron oxides, similar to hematite. What's remarkable is that the same element (iron, or Fe) that runs through this stone also flows through our own blood. We're connected to the earth at the most fundamental level.
While Tiger Iron isn't a supplement, it stands as an incredible symbol of our elemental interconnectedness. Each time you hold it, you're touching a piece of the earth that shares the same basic building blocks as life itself.
Why We Love Tiger Iron
When we discovered this stone, we were captivated by all the colors, and its ability to remind us that we all come from the same source. I recall carrying this stone about three times in the last 3 decades, and its iron-rich energy seems to ground us, symbolically echoing the vital, life-sustaining role of iron in our bodies.
We're thrilled to share this extraordinary stone with you, inviting you to feel its weight, admire its colors, and reflect on the beautiful, elemental connections that bind us all together.
Aloha!!
