Blue Tiger's Eye has the same silky shimmer as its golden cousin, but cooler, almost grey-blue, the kind of sheen that shifts as you turn it in the light. Where golden tiger's eye pushes you toward action, this one asks you to slow down before you act at all, useful on the days your first instinct is to react instead of think.
Shaped as a calming stone, it is flat and smooth enough to hold in one hand or press against the heel of your palm when a situation is heating up faster than you'd like. Keep it in a desk drawer for the meeting that always goes long, or in a bag for the commute home after a hard day. The blue sheen comes from fibrous mineral structure inside the stone catching light, called chatoyancy, and it is strongest when the piece is polished and turned slowly.
You'll be sent the stone intuitively chosen for you.
