{"product_id":"mini-candle-holder-tiger-eye-2-2-5","title":"Tiger Eye Mini Candle Holder - 2-2.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tiger Eye Candle Holder is a compact block of polished Tiger Eye with a metal socket set into the top, sized for a mini chime candle, and the sides left with their natural cut texture. The stone's banded golden brown runs in parallel bands across the polished surface, and the chatoyant sheen moves as the piece is turned, so the light band shifts position rather than staying fixed. The contrast between the glossy top face and the rougher sides gives the holder a worked but unfussy character. A candle is not included with this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiger Eye is traditionally associated with confidence and steady resolve, and with a grounding, protective quality; Roman soldiers are recorded as having carried it into battle as a protective talisman, and it saw use in traditional medicine across parts of Asia and Africa. A holder in this material suits a desk or workspace as readily as an altar, and the warm colour reads well against wood. It works equally as a standing object when no candle is in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Confidence \u0026amp; Ambition\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Solar Plexus, Root\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternate Birthstone: November\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Capricorn, Leo\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Tiger, Ox\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Sun\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth, Fire\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Tiger Eye, Metal Candle Socket\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Candle Holder\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nChime Candle: Not Included\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 50-65 mm (2-2.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 82 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTiger Eye is a chalcedony of the quartz family, silicon dioxide rating 7 on the Mohs scale, formed as a pseudomorph after crocidolite. The process is gradual replacement: silica progressively substitutes for blue crocidolite fibres while preserving their parallel alignment, and that preserved fibre structure is what produces the chatoyancy, the silky moving light band commonly called the cat's eye effect. The replacement is complete in finished material, so the original fibres are fully converted to silica. Hawk's Eye is the blue-grey variety, where oxidation of the iron content is incomplete. South Africa is the primary source, with additional material from India, Australia, the USA, and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
