As winter’s frost settles and daylight wanes, the season invites us to turn inward—a time for reflection, rest, and radical self-compassion. In this sacred pause, Tiger’s Eye emerges as a luminous ally, its golden-brown bands shimmering like sunlight trapped in stone. Known as the “Stone of Courage,” this grounding crystal helps us navigate winter’s emotional terrain with resilience, clarity, and an unshakeable connection to our inner fire.
