Geology & Origin
Hawk’s Eye, also known as Blue Tiger’s Eye, is a fibrous variety of Quartz and is considered a precursor to classic golden-brown Tiger’s Eye. Its characteristic bluish-grey layers are formed by the incorporation and alteration of iron-bearing fibrous minerals within the Quartz. South Africa is one of the classic sources of high-quality Hawk’s Eye and Tiger’s Eye.
