Description
This Tiger Eye Dragon Claw Gift Set features a polished Tiger Eye gemstone grasped by a silver-plated dragon claw mount, symbolizing strength and protection.
The pendant measures 1.75 × 1 inch and includes an 18-inch silver-plated chain.
Each piece ships in a presentation gift box with a removable metaphysical tag describing Tiger Eye’s traditional meaning.
Geological Background
Tiger Eye is a fibrous quartz variety formed when the mineral crocidolite (blue asbestos) was gradually replaced by silica and iron oxides —a process called pseudomorphic replacement.
This retained the original fibrous structure, producing the famous golden-brown “cat’s-eye” effect known as chatoyancy.
Primary sources include Griquatown West and Prieska, South Africa, where iron-rich solutions created veins of Tiger Eye within metamorphosed banded iron formations.

Cultural Symbolism of the Dragon Claw
In Chinese tradition, the dragon claw is a symbol of protection and authority. It represents a guardian force that wards off negativity and safeguards its bearer.
Combining this motif with Tiger Eye — a stone associated with focus and courage — creates a powerful fusion of ancient myth and Earth’s geologic energy.
Aesthetic & Collector Evaluation
The pendant captures Tiger Eye’s iridescent bands of gold, bronze, and amber. As light moves across the surface, its chatoyancy appears to shift like a living flame.
The curved silver claw setting adds texture and contrast, making it equally suitable for everyday wear or display as a collector piece.
Metaphysical Notes
Tiger Eye is believed to strengthen willpower, clarity, and protection, while the dragon claw is a symbol of guardianship and empowerment. Together, they represent confidence anchored in wisdom and calm strength.
