BBV Crystal of the Month - August - Tigers Eye
Tigers Eye: The Crystal of Strength, Grounded Confidence & Protection
August is a month of steadiness. After the forward momentum of summer, there’s a call to stand firmly in who you are — confident, grounded, and protected in your energy.
That’s why August’s BBV Crystal of the Month is Tiger’s Eye, a crystal known for strength, courage, and grounded confidence. Tiger’s Eye helps you trust yourself, hold healthy boundaries, and move through life with steady assurance rather than force.
If July was about taking action, August is about holding your ground.
