Raw hawk's eye, unpolished. It is the blue relative of tiger's eye: a quartz with the same fibrous sheen that shifts with the light, but in blue-grey and greenish tones. Tradition links it to seeing things with perspective, and to the protection of whoever watches before acting. Delivered in a 4 × 4 cm box.
Hawk's eye is the stone for anyone who needs to see the whole before deciding. Same fibrous sheen as tiger's eye, but in blue, and for a different purpose: perspective instead of push.
Hawk's eye is a fibrous quartz from the same family as tiger's eye, in blue-grey and greenish tones. Its defining feature is a banded sheen that travels as you move the stone, like the glint of an eye. In raw form you can see the fibre and the seam without the polishing that evens them out. It is a quartz, so it is hard.
Two things are attributed to it, and they go together: vision and protection.
It is best worked on a New Moon🌑 or a Waning Moon🌘. The new moon is the phase of protection and the waning moon the one for taking away what gets in the way: this mineral works both. Keep it near when you are too deep inside a problem to judge it properly, or through stretches of change.
Keep it where you make decisions: on your desk, on the table where you go through paperwork. Many people carry it through periods of change or place it by the front door, for its protective side. If you want to give it the shape of an intention, hold it against the light until you find the band of sheen and ask yourself what you are still not seeing.
With tiger's eye, its brother, which brings the push this one lacks. With black tourmaline to strengthen the protective side. And with blue kyanite when, beyond seeing clearly, you need to be able to explain it.
No. They are relatives: both are fibrous quartzes with the same shifting sheen. Tiger's eye is golden and brown, hawk's eye blue-grey. In tradition, tiger's eye is linked to courage and action, hawk's eye to perspective.
Because of its structure of parallel fibres, which reflect light in a band that travels. It is the feature that gives it its name, and it shows best against the light.
Yes, it is a quartz and handles water. Rinse it under the tap and dry it.
