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. In a properly cut and polished cabochon of blue tiger eye, you will observe that these asbestos fibers reflect light in such a way that a beautiful bright band of light seems to move across the surface of the stone.
