Tiger's Eye Premium Pendulum
The Tiger's Eye Premium Pendulum is a natural tiger's eye pendulum, about 1 inch long, faceted and set on a chain with a bead cap. Tiger's eye is prized for its chatoyancy — a silky, golden-brown band of light that shifts as the stone turns. It is hand-cut and calibrated to swing smoothly for pendulum work, and the exact banding pattern is unique to each piece.

Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, tiger's eye is associated with grounding, courage, and clear decision-making. As part of the broader crystals family, it is a popular stone for protection and grounding work, and its steady, banded shimmer makes it a favorite among those building a pendulum practice.
How to use it as a pendulum
Hold the chain loosely between your thumb and index finger, letting the pendulum hang still above the bead. Ask a question with a known "yes" and observe the direction or motion it settles into, then repeat with a known "no" to learn your own pattern. From there, many people use it as a grounding tool for quiet reflection and intuitive check-ins, keeping questions simple and specific and treating answers as personal insight rather than fact.
Care & cleansing
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately; skip ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can dull the chatoyant shimmer. Many people cleanse the stone with sound, moonlight, or a smudging tradition between sessions. Store it away from harder stones to keep the polish from scratching.
