BULL'S EYE
Bull's Eye, with its deep red reflections crossed by golden bristles, embodies quiet power, inner strength and perseverance. A naturally or artificially heated variant of Tiger's Eye, it evokes the solidity of the bull: grounded, robust, but always alert. Appreciated for its visual warmth and reassuring vibration, it is a stone of physical energy, mental resistance and concrete protection. It is readily associated with builders, hard workers and those who move forward quietly but steadfastly.

In the West, it is increasingly used as a talisman of confidence in physical, creative or entrepreneurial professions.
