Tiger's Eye Gua Sha
Tiger's Eye Gua Sha
Golden brown with bands of light that shift as you turn it — the effect is called chatoyancy and it is genuinely hard to photograph, so it looks better in your hand than it does on this page. Tiger's eye is the warmest-toned stone in the collection and the one that reads most like a piece of jewellery. Dense, substantial, high polish, clean glide.
Best for: the most striking piece on the shelf.
The three-minute ritual
- Prep. Clean skin, then a few drops of facial oil or a slippery serum. The stone should glide — if it drags, you need more oil, not more pressure.
- Sweep. Hold it almost flat against your skin. Work outward from the centre of the face: jaw to ear, cheek to temple, brow to hairline. Three slow passes each side.
- Finish. Light strokes down the side of the neck toward the collarbone. Rinse, pat dry, done.

Care
Rinse in warm water with a mild soap after each use and dry with a soft cloth. Chill it in the fridge if you like the cold. Natural stone, so expect small variations in colour and banding — yours will not look exactly like the photo, and that is rather the point.
Pairs with
A high-polish stone slides freely, so you need less oil than with jade — but you still need it. Jojoba or rosehip, two or three drops.
