Hawk's eye is a variety of microcrystalline quartz very similar to tiger's eye due to the presence of crocidolite in the composition of both stones. It is composed primarily of silicon dioxide.
Its colors range from shades of gray to blue and green. The bright reflections of hawk's eye are due to its fibrous, reflective structure. Belonging to the rhombohedral crystal system, hawk's eye has a density of 2.64 and a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale.
