The reason why the blue tiger eye stone is such a captivating stone is because it displays a beautiful optical effect, chatoyancy, because of which the stone resembles the eye of a hawk which has a focused and sharp gaze. In the blue tiger eye gemstone, chatoyancy is also called “hawk’s eye shimmer” or “hawk’s eye effect,” and it occurs as a result of the parallel arrangement of asbestos fibers within the stone.
