Falcon’s Eye, Hawk’s Eye & Blue Tiger Eye Crystals are all one and the same, but referred to with all three different names mentioned. They are usually coloured in shades of dark blue, sometimes with greyish bands across.

Falcon's Eye is the name given to blue or blue-gray Tiger Eye and, like golden Tiger Eye, it is a silicified asbestiform crocidolite (crocidolite with strands of asbestos running through it, which over time have been replaced with Quartz. The fine layers of Quartz crystals within Falcon's Eye reflect light and give the stone its characteristic silky sheen. The most important source of stone is South Africa, but it is also found in India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Western Australia, Brazil and California. Falcon's Eye is also known as Blue Tiger Eye, Hawk's Eye, Rodusite and Silicified Crocidolite.

All Tiger Eye, including Falcon's Eye, is chatoyant (from the French for 'cat's eye'). Chatoyancy is a silky, shimmering reflection, and in Falcon's Eye it is an optical effect caused when light hits the fine layers of replacement Quartz grains. A dictionary definition of chatoyancy is: "A polished surface that when turned towards the light often shows a series of lustrous bands alternating with bands of duller color which show little silkly lustre. A change in the angle of light results in a reversal of the conditions, the dark bands becoming lustrous and the lustrous bands becoming dark."

With its rich blue color and fascinating shimmer it is no wonder Falcon’s Eye is associated with the Throat Chakra and the ability to communicate honestly and effectively. Keeping a piece of Falcon’s Eye close can remind you to speak with integrity and express your highest truth in all situations. Working with this stone can help you find the courage needed to trust your inner wisdom and intuition and it is useful if you want to make an honest inventory of who you are, what you are and where you are going in life. Falcon’s Eye and Tiger’s Eye complement each other and seem to work well together in charms and crystal magic. Falcon's Eye can help you visualize your spiritual and material goals, Tiger’s Eye can help you turn the blueprints in your imagination into practical plans that will allow you to manifest your visions in the 'real' world.
