Namibian Blue Tiger’s Eye (Hawk’s Eye) Bracelet — FAQ

What is Namibian Blue Tiger’s Eye (Hawk’s Eye)?
Blue Tiger’s Eye, also known as Hawk’s Eye, is a fibrous quartz displaying chatoyancy—a silky light band that moves across the surface. The Namibian variety is admired for its deep blue-gray color and strong reflective sheen.
How is Blue Tiger’s Eye different from classic Tiger’s Eye?
Both belong to the same quartz family. Blue Tiger’s Eye forms at an earlier oxidation stage, keeping iron in its blue state. Classic Tiger’s Eye is fully oxidized, producing the golden-brown tone.
Where does Namibian Blue Tiger’s Eye come from?
This premium material is mined in Namibia’s Otjozondjupa region, an area known for rich quartz-fiber deposits that produce exceptionally vivid blue-black chatoyancy.
What does Blue Tiger’s Eye symbolize?
In crystal symbolism, it represents clarity, calm focus, and insight. Many wear it as a grounding talisman believed to support communication and inner balance (not medical advice).
Is Blue Tiger’s Eye durable for everyday wear?
Yes. Quartz ranks 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for bracelets. Avoid hard impacts or abrasives that might dull the polish or chatoyant lines.
Why does my Blue Tiger’s Eye look darker indoors?
The signature blue shimmer appears best under angled light. In dim indoor light, it can appear nearly black—view under sunlight or spot lighting to reveal the sheen.
How do I clean my Blue Tiger’s Eye bracelet?
Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning if the piece includes plated or elastic components.
Can I shower or swim with Blue Tiger’s Eye?
Brief water contact is safe, but avoid long exposure to saltwater, hot tubs, or chlorinated pools. Always dry completely afterward.
What pairs well with Blue Tiger’s Eye bracelets?
For contrast, combine with baroque pearls or gold-plated accents. For a cooler tone, layer with howlite or clear quartz.
How do I select the right bracelet size?
Measure your wrist snugly and add 0.5–0.7 in (1.2–1.8 cm) for comfort. Small ≈ 5.5–6 in, Medium ≈ 6–6.5 in, Large ≈ 6.5–7 in.
