This mala features 108 hand-strung, polished tiger's eye beads, each one displaying the stone's signature chatoyancy (chat is French for cat!)— a luminous band of light that glides across the surface as the mala moves, resembling the slit pupil of a cat's eye (from the French chat, meaning cat). The warm golden-brown tones and the shifting light within each bead give this Buddhist prayer mala a striking, grounding presence unlike any other gemstone mala.
Tiger's eye has long been prized across cultures as a stone of courage, clarity, and protection. It is believed to sharpen focus, support sound decision-making, and cultivate a steady sense of inner strength — qualities that make it especially well-suited for meditation practice and daily mindfulness. Whether used for japa mala recitation, mantra counting, or worn as spiritual jewelry, this mala is a powerful companion for anyone on a contemplative path.
