What is blue Tiger Eye or Hawkeye Eye or Falcon Eye (Hawk Eye Stone):

Blue tiger eye is a tiger eye that has not been oxidized in the ground, so to speak, a “young tiger eye”.

The original color of crocidolite, which is the main component, remains, and a mysterious striped pattern with a shade that seems to be more suitable for expressing “blue” rather than “blue” appears on the blackish ground color.

Also known as Hawkeye or Falcon eye (hawk’s eye) (of the blue tiger’s eye, only the stone with a rounded striped pattern that reveals an eye-like pattern is sometimes called a hawk’s eye).

The golden tiger’s eye praises the dignity and dignity of an adult, while the blue tiger’s eye is said to be more agile and laid-back, giving off a free-spirited energy that is not bound by anyone.

The deep blue color is said to have a sedative effect, soothe the heart that seems to be floating, and relieve tension. In that sense, it seems to be good for people who tend to be overly nervous even though they need strong power at the time of games, games, presentations, etc.

 It is also said to provide a view of the whole picture of things, like a hawk flying high in the sky.
 Human consciousness is inevitably short-sighted and tends to focus only on miscellaneous everyday events, making it difficult to see the essence of things and the major purpose behind them.

At such times, Hawkeye is said to help calmly view events in the human world from a higher perspective, a spiritual perspective. (Falcon is often considered a messenger of God, a genus)

In general, the Blue Tiger Eye is a stone that has the effects of “calm action,” “awakening sensitivity,” and “insight from high places.”

Corresponding chakras are between the eyebrows, lower abdomen, and throat. The directions that go well with each other are east and northeast.

“Hawkeye and Tiger’s eye, when used as a duo, help create a dynamic experience of heaven on earth,” said Katrina Raphaell, a crystal researcher in the United States.

What is Iron Tiger Eye Stone:

A stone mainly produced in Australia, with jasper and hematite added to the main component of tiger eye. Compared to South African products, the iron content is higher, and there are many types in which a bitter bronze color is mixed in the striped pattern.

Therefore, it came to be called Iron Tiger (Iron Tiger Eye Stone).

It is also called a bundle tiger eye.

Tiger’s eye from South Africa is produced in a state where it is not very thick, so even if it can be processed into a flat plate, it is difficult to make round balls with a diameter of 40 mm or more and thick carvings.

On the other hand, Australian iron tigers come out in large chunks, so it is possible to make round balls with large diameters.

As a gemstone, in addition to the suggestion of Tiger’s eye, it is said to support stronger willpower and immovable determination, physical stamina and grounding.

What is Red Tiger Eye :

The tiger eye is heat-treated to make it reddish.

Depending on how it is heated, it can range from a fairly strong red color to a subdued russet color.

It is an attempt to further increase the energy of the tiger eye by heating, and it is said that the intense vibration has a suggestion that it acts as a kind of tonic and a psychological body warmer. Especially, it is perfect for the autumn-winter season when the mind and body are inevitably contracted or when the motivation does not occur. It is also recommended for people who are not motivated or who need strong power regardless of the season.

If you want to wear red tiger’s eye but feel that it is a little too vibrant, you can try to neutralize it by putting on a crystal breath at the same time.

Very rarely, some tiger’s eyes have turned red due to heating by natural magma, but it is safe to assume that most of the red tiger’s eyes have been artificially heat-treated.

What is Golden Tiger Eye:

It is a treated stone that is decolorized by immersing normal tiger eye in a strongly acidic solvent. The striped pattern peculiar to tiger eye melts, the dark brown and blackish parts become lighter and more mellow, and the overall yellowish tone increases, so it has come to be called the golden tiger eye.

However, even if you say “golden” in a bite, there is a considerable range of shades depending on the shade of the rough stone and the state of treatment, and from the overall yellow or ocher type, the normal tiger eye becomes slightly mellow. It varies from one to the other.

It’s also softer than normal tiger’s eye, so even if you want to enjoy tiger’s eye but don’t like the glaring feeling, it’s a little easier to get along with.

In addition, since the number of golden colors is increasing due to the hue, it is thought that it is easier to attract fortune in terms of color and feng shui, as in “kind calls friends”.

The Golden Tiger Eye is named for the decolorized stone in the first place.

However, some untreated tiger’s eyes have a soft texture with many relatively yellow areas without clear stripes. It seems that there are cases where this is referred to as “non-bleached golden tiger eye” and specially regarded, but these types of stones are normally produced and are not special rare stones.

What is White Tiger Eye or Gray Tiger Eye:

 White tiger eye and gray tiger eye are made by immersing tiger eye in a special solvent and decolorizing it.

What is Green Tiger Eye (Green Tiger Eye:


Green tiger eye is colored by impregnating it with chrome lead after decolorization.

The main component is crocidolite (blue asbestos), which is a type of amphibole, which is soaked with a quartz solution and solidified. Over the years, deep in the earth, crocidolite melts, and the fibrous crystal structure reminiscent of silk gradually replaces quartz, which is a factor that reflects light reminiscent of tiger eyes. I can think of it.

The color that develops from brown to gold is due to the oxidation of the components, and the quartzized product that retains the original color of crocidolite without oxidation becomes blue tiger eye.

The main production area is South Africa. It is also produced in Australia, India and China.
