I have used blue tiger eye for focus and third eye opening and psychic clarity...the golden tiger is full of uplifting and sunny energy good for depression and will ground well...it also aids in digestion...of food and ideas...the red is also a powerful grounder and energiser...use it when you are tired or depleted

The blue, black or green kind is also called hawk's eye or falcon's eye. If you need money, luck, or opportunity urgently, this is a good stone.

The red kind is also called dragon's eye. It has powerful protective energy. It can be used to help keep unwanted solicitors or intruders away -- but especially in the case of intruders, use common sense and don't rely on a stone alone!

A piece of either ( but especially dragon's eye) in the bedroom may increase passion, so they say.

Wow, I didn't know the red was called Dragon's Eye. That is so cool because I love dragons, they are my power animals.
I find Dragon's Eyes are very protective - more so than regular golden tiger's eye. I recently bought one that is quite "scarred" looking (hematite inclusions in the fiber area), and the bands are very close together, so it looks more striped than most. It seemed so powerfully protective, like a firey warrior! I carry him for protection along with some other stones.
