Many people pair it with other crystals when setting an intention around focus or confidence.

Care & cleansing
Tiger’s eye is a durable quartz variety and tolerates brief rinsing, but avoid prolonged soaking, steam, or harsh chemicals, and dry it promptly. Many people cleanse it with sound or a smoke cleanse and recharge it under moonlight. Because each moon is carved from natural stone, banding and shimmer vary from piece to piece — yours will be unique.
