If you thought Tiger's Eye is a cool name for a stone, Red Tiger's Eye has an equally, or more so, cool nickname. Known as Dragon's Eye, this dark red stone not only ups the cool factor, but its name is well warranted. Red Tiger's Eye is just like its golden-brown brother in terms of formation, but with one crucial factor added: immense heat. The Dragon part makes a ton of sense once you know that.

Normal tiger’s eye starts as golden to brown quartz that formed from the alteration of a fibrous mineral called crocidolite. During this process, iron minerals remain in the stone, which create the characteristic color and the chatoyancy. When tiger’s eye is heated, the iron inside the stone oxidizes further. This chemical change shifts the color from golden brown to reddish brown or deep red. The same basic mineral is still present, but the oxidation state of the iron changes how light is absorbed and reflected.

The result of the transformation speaks for itself. These stones have a deep red shimmer that seems to move within as you turn it in your hand. Almost like captured dragon's breath that's been magically captured just under the surface. Ok, maybe we're just nerds here, but that's what it seems like to us.

According to metaphysics: In crystal and spiritual traditions, Red Tiger’s Eye, sometimes called Dragon’s Eye, is often associated with energy, motivation, and grounding. It is believed to boost vitality and stamina while encouraging confidence, courage, and personal strength. Many people also consider it a protective stone that helps deflect negative energy and keep emotions balanced. Because of its strong, fiery color, it is often connected with drive and action, helping people stay focused on goals and push through procrastination.
