The red-amber color seen here is typically the result of heat treatment applied to golden tiger's eye — a long-established, widely used practice that deepens the tone to a warmer red, and we want to be upfront about that. In crystal tradition, red tiger's eye is associated with vitality, motivation, and grounded courage, linked to the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/root-chakra\"\u003eroot\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sacral-chakra\"\u003esacral chakras\u003c\/a\u003e.
