Geology of Blue Tigers Eye
Blue Tiger’s Eye, also known as Hawk's Eye Quartz, is a semi-precious pseudomorph of quartz that exhibits chatoyancy. The fibers of asbestos in the stone reflect in a wavering silky luster that can resemble the eye of a cat.
It is formed when parallel veins of Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) fibers are initially altered into Iron Oxides that are then replaced by silica, which is what results in the more opaque, rich yellow to the brown color we see in regular Tiger’s Eye.
The Quartz present in the stone actually formed as tiny columns rather than being fibers. So the chatoyancy wasn't being caused by the quartz itself, but by tiny inclusions of crocidolite fibers within the quartz columns.
The reflective effect followed the crocidolite, not the quartz.
After much study under a microscope, scientists were led to believe they weren't seeing a pseudomorph at all, but the result of many episodes of cracking and sealing. Basically, as tectonic plate stresses cracked quartz-rich veins, crocidolite fibers would grow from tiny crocidolite grains in the surrounding rock.
Quartz columns growing from the opposite side would wrap up the fibers. The whole process would cycle time over and over again until the veins are left with Tiger's Eye and its sibling Hawk's Eye.
The coloring in Blue Tiger’s Eye specifically forms when fibers of silicate form alongside Crocidolitem although it is not quite yet clear if Tiger's Eye forms simultaneously with Hawk's Eye, or if it forms when Hawk's Eye gets an oxidizing bath at a later time.
On Mohs scale of mineral hardness Tiger’s Eye grades as a 6.5 to 7, which means that it’s very durable and hard! These are perfect for turning into tumbled stones!
Virtually all of the Tiger’s Eye on the market is mined in South Africa, regardless of whether it’s gold, red or blue (Hawk’s Eye).
