It's a small crescent-moon pendant carved from natural tiger's eye, a chatoyant quartz known for its golden-brown banding. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device. Is tiger's eye water-safe? Yes, tiger's eye is a fairly hard quartz variety and tolerates brief contact with water. Avoid long soaks or harsh chemicals, and dry it promptly. Can I wear it daily or in the sun? Tiger's eye is durable enough for daily wear (Mohs 7). Prolonged direct sunlight can gradually dull the color of many crystals, so store it out of direct sun when not worn. How do I cleanse and charge it?

Dyed or plastic imitations often look flat or unnaturally uniform. What does tiger's eye pair well with? It's often paired with other grounding stones like smoky quartz or black tourmaline, or with citrine for a warm, confidence-focused combination. It also pairs naturally with our Tiger's Eye Tumbled Stone for everyday carry.
