The Tiger’s Eye Effects:

The Tiger’s Eye is an ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, revered and feared. An “all-seeing, an all-knowing eye”, thought to grant a wearer the ability to observe everything; even through closed doors.

It brings stability and awareness while integrating the spiritual with the physical realms. It teaches balance between extremes, moving one out of the world of duality – right and wrong, good and bad, dark and light – and provides an understanding of the underlying unity behind apparent opposites.

It brings a more practical and compassionate reasoning to one’s choices, and helps one to reflect (the) Spirit through each action taken in the world.

Moreover, the Tiger’s Eye is ever vigilant, bringing sharpness to one’s inner vision and better understanding of the “cause and effect” of each situation. It encourages one to use their powers wisely, and allows scattered information to be brought together to a cohesive whole.

The Tiger’s Eye is a stone that amplifies and boosts the energies of any quartz, crystal or stone.

It brings harmony and balance, and can give you courage, strength of mind and self-confidence to tackle anything that will come your way.

It will help you accomplishing your goals because your focus and creativity will be greatly enhanced. You will be filled with confidence and optimism, and all feelings of lack or being incomplete will be dispelled. 

It is traditionally used as an amulet to protect yourself from curses or any other kind of ill wishes.

Furthermore, The Tiger’s Eye is a golden stone. It’s an excellent stone to have with you if you are looking to increase your wealth, to boost your money flow or to create more opportunities for growth and expansion. It can bring in abundance and prosperity to your life.

It will bring good luck to you when you work hard and envision your success.

It can amplify the energies that you give to your pursuits, which is why it will also attract the same amount of good luck back to you.

Finally, the Tiger’s Eye will strengthen your willpower and your intentions towards success.

Hematite is a shiny, dark-coloured stone found all over the world. It is made mainly of iron, which gives it its metallic sheen. It also gives it an interesting quirk of naming – although the hematite that we see in our daily lives is dark grey, its name comes from a Latin phrase meaning “blood stone.” Why? Because, when it is found naturally, the iron content is covered in rust.

In Ancient Rome, hematite was a popular stone for decorative purposes. Jewellery, weapons, and even armour decorated with hematite were traded widely. The dark colour was thought to be especially intimidating or protective.

Hematite stones are opaque, not the strongest of stones (it has a 5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale), and they have a strong metallic lustre. When found in nature, it will be rough and red, but once polished, it takes on a beautiful, mirror-like sheen, which makes it extremely popular in semi-precious jewellery.

Just like Amethyst, this stone’s energy is earthy, and it is one of the best stones that you can use to harness the power of the element of earth to lend you strength and dispel negativity. If you are interested in learning how to use hematite’s power, simply read on!

Why Would You Use Hematite Crystals-Stones?

Hematite’s powerfully earthy energy means that it can be used for almost any project that involves the power of the element of earth. Earth is the element that rules the physical world, money, practical thinking, and decision making.

As I’m sure you can imagine, this makes the powers of earth extremely popular and beneficial!

Thinking in a solid, logical way that will also improve your material and financial life is a pretty positive way to go through life.

Specifically, hematite is a good stone for organizing one’s thoughts and developing logical thinking skills.

This is a useful stone for improving your skills in subjects such as mathematics, argumentation and debate, or problem-solving.

If you’re put off by the idea of a stone benefiting “logical” thinking, and worried that it might negatively impact your creativity, fear not! In fact, logical thinking is a prerequisite for creative thinking.

The most creative thinkers, from painters like Picasso to scientists like Einstein, or even young children, are actually the most ruthless appliers of logic. They apply logic so rigorously that they come very quickly to conclusions or ideas that other people would dismiss as “crazy.”

In other words, if you feel that your creative thinking is stagnant and you want some more, then applying hematite to improve your logical thinking skills is the best thing you can possibly do for yourself!

It also has strong emotional benefits, because, as many dark-coloured stones do, hematite dispels negativity and “purifies” the emotional realm.

It balances its user’s self-esteem and self-vision by sweeping away all the negativity that so often clouds our understanding of ourselves.

By using hematite, you make way for more positive energy to enter into your life.

Hematite’s main property could be described as “grounding.”

If you tend to have a “flighty” mind, prone to distraction, lack of focus, or anxiety, or even if you feel that you have a strong imagination, but that it’s impacting you negatively, this could be the perfect stone for you.

It won’t “kill” your imagination – quite the opposite, as described above! – but it will give you an increased ability to focus your mind in a productive way, rather than becoming psychically distracted.

How Will Hematite Help You?

Hematite can benefit you in multiple different fields of your life.

It is best known for its positive effects in business and career fields, but it can also be helpful in your romantic relationships, your family life, your spiritual development, and your general perspective towards yourself.

Hematite and Wealth

First, let’s tackle hematite’s role in your career. Because of its connection to the element of earth, this is one of the best stones you can use for its financial benefits. Remember, earth is the element that rules money – why do you think American money is green?

If you’re seeking a promotion, a raise, or maybe a whole different job that will benefit you from a financial perspective, hematite is a great stone to incorporate into your life. Its power will not only make people see you in a more positive way, but also give you the skills of strong logical thinking and practicality that are so rare and valuable in most career fields.

Hematite, Love and Relationships 

When it comes to interpersonal relationships – whether romantic, familial, or just friendly or social – this is the perfect stone for keeping you far away from “drama.” While some people seem to attract fusses like magnets, hematite will repel all that unnecessary, negative, attention-seeking behaviour.

From a spiritual and emotional perspective, hematite is a good stone for fostering gratitude for what you have. Appreciating what you have in the here and now is one of the single healthiest things that you can do for your mind and spirit.

Hematite and Healing

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention hematite’s history as a physically healing stone. Hematite has been used for centuries in medicine for a very good reason – it contains iron! Iron deficiency is the cause of many health problems, so it’s only natural that an iron-containing stone would be touted for its healing properties.

Hematite has been said to have positive effects on the heart and the circulatory system. It can also ease symptoms that are exacerbated by stress or anxiety, due to its grounding properties.

Remember, however: crystology is never an acceptable substitute for professional medical attention! Never use any stone as a replacement for seeing a qualified doctor or medical professional.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, due to hematite’s iron content, any sort of healing process that requires you to consume any quantity of the stone should be regarded with extreme caution and skepticism. Iron is an important micronutrient, and if you’re an Ancient Roman, then taking a hematite elixir might be a great way to get it, but it can quickly become toxic if you’re literally eating the metal. Get your iron nutrients from spinach or red meat instead, and save hematite for spiritual nutrition.

How to Use Hematite Crystals for the Best Results

Because hematite is both very aesthetically pleasing and relatively inexpensive and common, hematite jewellery is quite easy to procure. As such, a nice range of hematite jewellery is a gery easy thing to collect.

When you are preparing for a difficult confrontation (especially one that has to do with money), put on your hematite like armour! This strong, protective stone will keep you emotionally and spiritually safe, and it should be thought of as having that purpose. When you put it on, think of yourself like a knight in a movie putting on his armour before going into battle.

This also applies if, for whatever reason, the “energy” of your house itself feels wrong. Many people who believe that their houses are haunted by traumatic memories would benefit from placing some hematite in the house to “suck out” the residual negative energies.

If you are suffering from nightmares (or have a partner or child who is), place hematite under your (or their) bed or pillow in order to keep the negative energies that cause nightmares at bay.

Whereas gold is the metal of the sun, silver is the metal of the moon. Like the moon and water, silver is reflective and used to mirror the soul bringing people calm and balance. Silver is used to 'draw down the moon' during lunar ceremonies, giving the wearer use of the moons energy and protecting them from negativity.

Silver's connection to the spiritual life is mostly seen in traditional cultures where people live in union and deep respect for the earth. For example, the Tibetans spiritual silver jewelry is often combined with gemstones and crystals which then resonate their healing vibrations more strongly. Another aspect of the silver natural healing belief is that wearing this jewelry brings the wearer more in tune with the vibrations and flow of the universe. It is the metal of emotions, love and healing. Silver's properties are strongest during the new and full moon.

Silver in Healing

Wearing silver jewelry is said to help heal and calm the mind, to help clear the lungs and throat, to increase circulation and purify the blood, to balance hormones and to slow the progression of degenerative brain diseases. Just wearing silver is said to help draw negative energy from the body to make way for positive energy.

Any stone used for healing will benefit from being set into silver.

Silver is a great conductor of energy, including magic. Any stone set in silver will be amplified and its energy more easily directed.

Zircon Crystals and Stones...

Bring Balance, Spiritual Grounding and Healing

Zircon crystals or stones have an intense energy that is highly spiritual.

They will help you to love yourself and others, and to recognize the spiritual aspects of yourself.

It will bring the spiritual energy down from the higher transpersonal chakras via the crown chakra, then move it to all of the lower chakras.

If you have problems that are causing you serious issues, and you need to take yourself out of the situation, meaning to distance your opinions and take guidance from spirit, they will help you.

It will ground this energy at the base chakra, then take the energy down to the earth star chakra and Mother Gaia.

While it is a spiritual stone, it is also a strong stone for grounding you.  These stones have beneficial metaphysical properties, that will work within all of the chakras to stimulate the movement of sluggish energy.

They help you to be more organized and to act more effectively to do what you need to do to achieve your aims.

Where Is It From? Zircon Meaning

Zircons are some of the oldest stones that have been used on the planet, and the meaning of their name dates back to an ancient Persian word. This name became part of the Germanic languages, and then was anglicized to the English word Zircon.

The finest and best deposits of Zircon stones come from Madagascar and Canada, but it has also been found in Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Australia, Canada and the USA.

The color of Zircon Crystals varies and may be red, orange, yellow, green and brown, but many of these have been heat treated to get these colors. The most common untreated stones are brownish red to brownish yellow.

The most beautiful and precious gem quality stones are commonly heat treated. This is to create lovely brilliant stones with an intense fiery brilliance. These are often yellow, green, blue or may be colorless.

Why Would You Use It?

Zircon crystals embody a strong healing energy and have an effective spiritual grounding vibration. They are known as a 'stone of virtue' as they help to balance the virtuous aspects within you.

These crystals are both common and uncommon at the same time. While they really are quite common stones, not all crystal shops carry them.

This is because the stones that are really beautiful are snapped up for the jewelry trade, while the rest may be overlooked, as many do not have the look that some people associate with a beautiful crystal.

They are chakra stones for all of the chakras, but they have a stronger effect within some specific chakras. Once you use Zircon crystals of any grade, you will appreciate their strong spiritual aspect. 

Heat treating makes it hard to ascertain the actual original color of the stone, but should not effect its metaphysical qualities.

After all stones are naturally heated in the earth over the millions of years it takes for them to form.

Any color of Zircon Crystals may potentially have an effect on your intuitive abilities  as well as aiding you to develop stronger psychic abilities.

They may both help you to develop your intuition, as well as stimulate your current level of intuition to increase.

The chakras that they affect the most may depend to some degree on the color of the actual stones, and whether they have been heat treated.

How To Use It 

This is an excellent stone to stimulate your strength of purpose, so it is a beneficial stone to use when doing a daily meditation with crystals.

This may be especially helpful if you desire to achieve a specific purpose from your meditation. 

Using them may also help you to develop your intuitive abilities more fully.

Their vibration also provides spiritual protection, so this is another reason why you might choose to meditate with them. These stones are known to help you to bring your visions into reality. 

To help you to discover your specific psychic communication ability more quickly, you may like to use your Zircon crystals in meditation, as this may  to aid the process.

They have a strong spiritual grounding energy so they will help you if you are prone to coming out of meditation feeling spacy or unbalanced.

They are known as a stone of balance, and this refers to both physical, emotional and spiritual balance.  The strong spiritual energy of these crystals will help you to love yourself and others.

They will help your way of thinking to become purer, and more in line with heart felt compassionate feelings. This may be because they stimulate the thymus or higher heart chakra. 

Zircon Crystals will assist you to manifest abundance and prosperity.

This may be particularly strong if the stones you have contain golden or yellow colors within them.

It is the power of your intentions that is involved when you do this, so you may choose to use any color of Zircon stones to aid you to manifest money.

This vibration is particularly strong within the solar plexus chakra, where many of the yellow stones have a very strong energy.

Who Should Use It? Use In Body Layouts 

You may use them at any of the chakras from the throat chakra up to enhance you ability to make contact with beings in higher dimensions.

It is known to help to combine the energies of the heart chakra, base and solar plexus chakra to create a more intense vibration within them.

It will enhance your thinking if used within the crown or third eye chakra.

As it clears blockages of sluggish energy, it will help to connect your higher spiritual aspects with Mother Gaia.

These are excellent stones for crystal healers to use in body layouts, as they will activate specific points in the etheric body and the chakra system.

Using them in a body layout is very effective to get sluggish energy moving again.

To specifically use them for a body layout you will need ten Zircon stones, one for each main body chakra and one to place at the earth star and soul star chakras.

If you do not have ten stones, use them with other crystals and choose the area you feel you most need to help to place these stones.

Zircon Crystals will ground you, taking energy down through the base or root chakra via the earth star chakra which will help to dissipate any excess of negative energy from within any chakra.

How Will It Help You?

They are strong stones to aid your spirituality and health, as they help to clear blocked and disharmonious energies from the physical body, that may be stopping you from moving spiritually to a higher level.

Use Zircon Crystals at the third eye to aid you to both find a solution more quickly and to help you to find a solution in alignment with what spirit feels you require.

Zircon of any color will have a positive effect both at this chakra and in all other chakras. These crystals are helpful to aid you to overcome prejudice of any type.

This includes racism and other types of discrimination that separates you from any segment of the community, including homophobia.

Wearing Zircons

Zircons are on the birthstone list by month as they are a September birthstone, if you are able to get a piece of Zircon jewelry, these are often extremely beautiful stones.

Jewelry made from Zircon gemstones will be powerful pieces to wear.

As they are a Virgo as well as a Leo and Sagittarius birthstone, they may be sold made into lovely Zircon birthstone jewelry.
