More about Blue Tiger Eye

A blue tiger? Well, when you see our newest variety of Tiger Eye, you might be more tempted to think of a hawk eye! Blue Tiger Eye shares the same name as its more honey-colored cousin. But the deep, midnight indigo of Blue Tiger Eye beads better reflect this stone's other well-known moniker, Hawk Eye.

This natural quartz stone (that's natural, not dyed!) is mined throughout the world. It's one of our harder semiprecious gemstones, measuring a 7 on the Mohs scale. Thus, it's a practical and versatile gemstone for wire wrapping or any type of jewelry creation. Then again, Blue Tiger rates well above "practical" — somewhere around "superb."

So, how does a plain quartz become a striking and mysterious Tiger Eye? Jewelry designer Dale Armstrong answers that tough question in a post on our Wire-Sculpture jewelry making blog. Click here to go to "Gem Profile: Tiger Eye."
