Tiger Eye & Labradorite Bracelet

Traditionally believed to bring

About this piece

A mix of golden-brown Tiger Eye beads and dark Labradorite beads that flash blue when they catch the light, about 8 mm each. Strung on stretch cord, so it fits most wrists. The earthy colours suit men and women alike.

The story

Tiger Eye gets its name from the shiny stripes that move across the stone like the eye of a tiger; soldiers once carried it for courage. Labradorite comes from Labrador in Canada. An old legend says the Northern Lights were once trapped inside these rocks, and that is why Labradorite still flashes blue and green when it moves.

Who can wear it

Anyone, of any rashi, age or gender. A good pick for students, working professionals and anyone starting something new. Tiger Eye is also part of the Mesh, Simha and Meen rashi bracelets.

How to wear

• Best first worn on a Sunday, the day of Surya (the Sun), whose golden energy is linked with Tiger Eye.
• Hold it in your palm, think of a goal you want to reach, then wear it.
• Usually worn on the right wrist, the hand of action.

Care

• Remove before bathing, swimming or applying perfume.
• Labradorite can chip, so avoid knocking it against hard surfaces.
• Cleanse occasionally by leaving it under moonlight overnight.
