Tiger Eye, also called Tiger's Eye, is a variety of Chalcedony and a member of the trigonal crystal system. It has a mohs hardness of 7 and is typically yellow, brown, or gold in color, but red and blue varieties are also found.
Tiger Eye is a chatoyant mineral. Mindat.org defines chatoyancy or chatoyance as, "An optical phenomenon, possessed by certain minerals in reflected light, in which a movable wavy or silky sheen is concentrated in a narrow band of light that changes its position as a mineral is turned." In simple terms, chatoyance is like flashes of light. To fully appreciate a mineral's chatoyance, bring it outside on a sunny day and move your mineral around in different directions. It's such a beautiful display.

Solar Plexus Crystal Body Layout
Objective:
The objective of this body layout is to assist in balancing
and opening the Solar Plexus Chakra.
Crystals/Material Used:
2 Citrine (I prefer natural but heat-treated works too), 2 Gold/Yellow Tiger Eye, 2 Pyrite, 4 small Clear Quartz points, and a yellow candle.
Procedure:
Select a quiet area where you will be comfortably lying down. You may choose to light yellow candles, incense, play music, nature sounds, or any other methods that help you to relax. Place the Citrine a few inches above your belly button and the Pyrite and Tiger Eye around the Citrine. You can also place 4 small Quartz points facing inward, toward the solar plexus. I feel you can also place the Quartz points outward to expand the Solar Plexus, like the sun shining! Both options are presented. Follow your instinct. Hold one Citrine in your receiving hand. Relax. Listen to your breathing, heartbeat, or music. Imagine a glowing ball of yellow swirling on your Solar Plexus. You may also imagine that your Solar Plexus Chakra is like the sun shining brightly. Lie in this position for about 20 minutes or for as long as you feel is comfortable for you. As with all meditations or wellness sessions, sit up slowly and stand only when ready. Give gratitude for what you have received and enjoy a nice glass of water.
Affirmations:
I believe in myself.
I am in control.
I have the ability to create my reality.
Patience and grounding
Gounding, stability and balance
