Hawks Eye—also known as Blue Tiger Eye—is the all-seeing, all-knowing crystal of the Tiger Eye family. With its silky bands of dark blue, charcoal, and metallic shimmer, Hawk’s Eye brings the vision and sharp instincts of its namesake raptor. It’s here to help you cut through confusion, tap into intuitive wisdom, and stay laser-focused on what really matters.
This is the stone you reach for when you need to rise above the chaos and see the big picture—but still keep your feet firmly on the ground. It brings clarity without the overwhelm and helps you make smart, soul-aligned choices even when emotions are high.
Metaphysical Properties:
Hawks Eye activates the Third Eye Chakra, sharpening inner sight, psychic awareness, and mental clarity. But it also roots into the Earth energy of the Root Chakra, giving it a stabilising, protective edge. It’s that rare balance of mystical insight and grounded practicality.
It’s especially powerful during times of transformation, travel (both physical and spiritual), and boundary-setting. Think of it as your energetic lookout tower—watching your back while guiding your next move.

Scientific Fun Fact:
Hawks Eye is actually the precursor to Tiger Eye—it forms when asbestos fibres (usually crocidolite) become replaced by quartz, creating shimmering bands of colour. The blue tones in Hawk’s Eye remain because the oxidation process hasn’t fully occurred—basically, it’s Tiger Eye before it goes full gold.

When you’re navigating change, choices, or big-picture planning

To sharpen intuition and insight without floating off into la-la land
