Hawk's Eye (Blue Tigereye) Smooth Round 8mm (Blue Tigereye) 16" strand
Tigereye actually starts out as the blue asbestos mineral called crocidolite. When enough silica has accumulated to solidify the material sufficiently to make it a quartz lapidary product, it is the deep blue of the original crocidolite fibers. This material is called hawk's-eye.
