Tiger's Eye & Hawk Eye Stone Bead Mala Bracelet: This is natural "blue" tiger's eye - please note that hawk eye/ aka blue tiger's eye is barely blue it all, it has a silvery/blue grey tint to it in addition to the traditional gold tones - it is not as golden as regular tiger's eye. This is the natural presentation of the material; all the very saturated and colorful flashy BLUE tiger's eye is treated dyed - this is not dyed! Each is unique Approx. 10mm beads Stone origin: South Africa Geologically, Hawk's Eye has a lower iron content than Tiger's Eye, which can help to distinguish the two similar materials. It is the oxidation of iron that turns Hawk's Eye into Tiger's Rye; iron turns the material more brown. Tiger's Eye displays a chatoyancy (cat's-eye) when a polished stone is moved back and forth. It is a quartz gemstone, usually amber to brown in color, that forms when fibers of the mineral crocidolite are replaced by silica.
