Blue Tiger Eye is a chatoyant gemstone that is variety of Quartz.
It's chatoyancy is naturally created from sub-parallel intergrowth of Quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers that have mostly turned into Limonite.
The original, Crocidolite, is a bluish-gray color, and sometimes the pseudomorphism to Quartz is incomplete resulting in a stone with a bluish-gray color with chatoyant effect. This is considered Hawk's Eye.
