Pass the stone through Sage or Palo Santo smoke to clear energetic buildup without affecting the stone.
Moonlight Charge
Leave the stone under a full moon to enhance its protective and grounding vibrations.

Using a singing bowl or high-frequency music is an excellent, safe way to clear Tiger Eye's energy without any physical risk.
