Physical
Tiger Iron is a heavy stone formed from a naturally occurring mix of Gold
Tigers Eye, Black Hematite and Red Jasper, and as such, it combines the properties
of these three stones in varying proportion. It can balance yin-yang energy
and is an excellent all round protecting and grounding stone. Good for leg
cramps, Tiger Iron is also good for treating blood disorders, spinal alignment
and with the healing of broken and fractured bones. It provides strength,
stamina and endurance and can help fight tiredness and exhaustion. A good
stone for strengthening the muscle system. Tiger Iron also helps with disorders
of the reproductive system, the digestive system and general non-specific
aches and pains.

Very grounding. Promoting inner strength, Tiger Iron also balances our emotional
energies and can help us achieve more quiet and calm in our lives. It encourages
concentration, optimism and creativity. It encourages an admiration for the
pure and the beautiful, especially if you are of an artistic nature. Tiger
Iron can clarify our thoughts and increase our confidence. It is a soothing
stone and allows us to be uninhibited and to transform negativity into love.

Tiger Iron can help us to recall our dreams more easily. It can also enhance
our psychic abilities and help us to realise that the only limitations that
there are, are those that we have created ourselves.
