Physical properties

Hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, blue-grey color, silky luster with chatoyancy, and a trigonal-trapezohedral crystal system.

Formed as a pseudomorph when quartz replaces fibrous crocidolite asbestos, typically within metamorphic or hydrothermal environments.

Widely used in jewelry, beads, ornamental carvings, and holistic crystal collections.

Also known as hawk's eye, the blue variety forms before iron oxidation turns the fibers into the classic golden-brown tiger's eye.

Identified by its striking cat-eye reflection and grey-blue bands; commonly sourced from South Africa, Australia, and India.
