What are hawk eye bracelets?
Hawk eye bracelets are made from hawk eye stone, a captivating variety of quartz related to tiger eye. Sometimes called “blue tiger eye,” it forms when crocidolite fibers are preserved in quartz, creating a shimmering, chatoyant effect. Hawk eye is mainly sourced from South Africa, India, and Australia, and is admired both for its beauty and its strong metaphysical properties.
Unique appearance: blue-gray to dark iridescent hues
Hawk eye is known for its blue-gray to deep indigo color, often with iridescent flashes that seem to shift under light. This shimmering effect, called chatoyancy, gives the stone its distinctive look, resembling the watchful eye of a hawk. Bracelets made from hawk eye are bold, elegant, and deeply grounding.

In ancient times, it was also used as a talisman for courage and insight, guiding leaders and warriors to make wise decisions. Today, it continues to be valued for its balance of grounding and visionary energy.
