Blue Tiger Eye Natural Gemstone

Hawk Eye is reminiscent of the eye of a bird of prey, this blue-gray to blue-green variety is actually the phase in the development of Tiger’s Eye before Quartz's replacement of Crocidolite has altered to iron oxide, retaining the original gray-blue or green of the asbestos fibers.

It is considered the most authoritative of the eye stones, warding off nightmares, protecting one from malice and jealousy, and providing deeper insights and awareness so one may see beyond the obvious. It is a marvelous aid for increasing the sensory gifts and a link with cosmic forces that provide inspirational guidance for one’s life.

It is a powerful stone for healing Earth energies and for increasing self-understanding. It is grounding during chaotic situations and brings issues into perspective, especially when placed on the Third Eye.
