Tiger’s eye also augments good luck and brings monetary prosperity. With regard to the chakra, Tiger’s eye is associated with the root, sacral and solar plexus chakras.
The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, controls movement and sensation. From a spiritual perspective the root is associated with strength and spiritual energy.
