1.7" Polished Blue Tiger's Eye Pocket Stone

About Blue Tiger's Eye

Blue Tiger’s Eye, also known as Hawk’s Eye or Falcon’s Eye, is a stunning variety of Tiger’s Eye known for its silky luster and deep, shimmering blue tones. This stone forms when crocidolite (blue asbestos) fibers are replaced by quartz through a process called pseudomorphism, while still retaining the fibrous structure that gives it a characteristic chatoyant “cat’s-eye” effect. The result is a captivating play of light that moves across the surface as the stone is turned.

Found primarily in South Africa and Western Australia, Blue Tiger’s Eye displays a range of colors from deep navy to steel blue, often with streaks of gray, gold, or green. When polished, it exhibits a glassy sheen and a shifting band of light that gives it remarkable depth and movement. Valued by collectors and lapidary artists alike, Blue Tiger’s Eye is often cut into cabochons, beads, or tumbled stones—each piece reflecting a tranquil, almost hypnotic beauty reminiscent of stormy skies or the wings of a hawk in flight.

The stone is polished into an oval shape and rounded on all sides. Polished stones of this size and shape are generally referred to as pocket stones since they will easily fit into a pocket. The pictures are representative of the stone you will receive, but there will be some variation in colors and patterning.
