Tiger's eye carries a shifting golden-brown shimmer across its surface, a band of light that moves as you turn the stone, shaped here into a small butterfly instead of its usual tumble or point. It's associated with a kind of courage that moves rather than digs in, useful on a day you're working through a change instead of standing your ground against one. Keep it on a windowsill where the light catches the shimmer, or carry it in a pocket during a stretch of real transition. The light-catching effect comes from tiger's eye's fibrous internal structure, quartz grown alongside parallel mineral fibers that bend and reflect light as the stone turns. This piece is carved into a small butterfly shape. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. A little movement, carved into something that already knows how to fly.
