Hawk's Eye
What Is Hawk's Eye?
Hawk's eye is the blue-grey sibling of tiger's eye: quartz that formed over blue crocidolite fibres, giving it the same silky chatoyant shimmer in stormy blue and slate tones. Where tiger's eye burns golden, hawk's eye watches cool and steady — hence the name.
What Is Hawk's Eye Good For?
In traditional belief, hawk's eye is the stone of clear perspective — associated with stepping back, seeing the full picture, and making calm, decisive calls. It is also traditionally linked with courage and steady confidence, and with focusing intention so that goals take shape faster.
How to Use Hawk's Eye
- Wear it daily — bracelets keep its steadying presence close at hand.
- For reflection — hold it during quiet planning or journaling.
Care & Cleansing
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleansing: rest it overnight on a Clear Quartz cluster — the simplest daily reset. For a deeper cleanse, try our Herkimer Diamond water method: soak a Herkimer Diamond in water for a few hours, then rest your crystal in the water for 10–30 minutes. Moonlight around the full moon is a good tool-free alternative. Read our full cleansing guide.
- Avoid salt water — some shops recommend it as a cleansing method, but salt can permanently dull or damage the surface.
