About Falcon's Eye

El ojo de halcón es la variedad azul grisácea del ojo de tigre, que presenta el mismo efecto de chatoyancia fibrosa de seda pero con coloración azul-gris en lugar del dorado característico del ojo de tigre. Se forma cuando la crocidolita azul (amianto azul) se petrifica con sílice sin la transformación de oxidación que produce el amarillo dorado del ojo de tigre. Se talla en cabujones para revelar la línea chatoyante que se desliza por la superficie pulida, y se extrae principalmente en Sudáfrica.
