Features of Blue Tiger’s Eye (Hawk’s Eye):
Color palette: Deep midnight blue to bluish-grey, sometimes with hints of green, gold, or black.
Patterns: Displays a silky, fibrous sheen known as chatoyancy — the signature “cat’s eye” effect. Often features wavy or linear banding.
Hardness: 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, suitable for jewelry and handling.
Locations worldwide: Common sources include South Africa, India, Namibia, and Western Australia.
Formation: Forms from the oxidation of Crocidolite (blue asbestos), which is replaced by quartz while preserving the fibrous structure. It is a precursor to golden Tiger’s Eye, making it geologically unique.
