Natural raw Hawk's Eye in which you can see its beautiful grayish blue stripes.
Hawk's eye is a blue-gray variety of tiger's eye. It is a variety of quartz that presents the "chatoyance" effect, vertical bands with reflections reminiscent of a cat's eye. This effect is produced by the orientation of the fibrous crocidolite inclusions it contains.
The piece you receive may differ slightly from the photo shown, since the minerals are natural and no pieces are identical. The size is approximate.
