Hawk's eye is a green, grey or blue variety of quartz that has parallel, fibrous inclusions of crocidolite that give it a greenish cat's eye effect(chatoyancy). This mineral has a silky luster. It looks a lot like tiger's eye, and often occurs with it in the same rock, but the internal structure is different. 2, record 1, English, - hawk%27s%2Deye
