A gem in the classification of ornamental stones is usually referred to as samples of the highest class. Hawkeye, according to the gradation of Gurich's minerals, is on a par with aventurine and opal. This stone is one of the brightest representatives of eye quartz. From a chemical point of view, it is silicon oxide. This is what explains the gemological properties of the mineral: it is characterized by a translucent, almost glassy luster and a silky sheen at the fracture site.
According to scientific research, the formation of such minerals is a consequence of the replacement of asbestos-like veins with a transparent and translucent corset, resulting in an "eye" effect, which is enhanced by the inclusion of oxidized crocidolite.
It is he who gives the gem its characteristic shades: from pale blue overflow to deep dark blue, almost black.
In nature, there are specimens of light green and green shades, a little less often - pink. If gold and blue fibers are mixed, then a new type of stone is obtained, which is called the tiger-hawk's eye. If you look at the stone, it looks like it has a needle in its center. Its color is also heterogeneous: it can be blue-green and rusty-red.

Subtleties of care
Quartz crystals are very comfortable to wear, they do not need any specialized care and are considered rather unpretentious gems.
The main feature that allows them to be maintenance-free is strength and hardness. However, even the toughest stones tend to crack under strong mechanical stress. Hawkeye is no exception - you should protect the gem from stress and damage.
Keep in mind that this stone does not like high temperatures.
The stone is stored in a special jewelry box, but it is not worth keeping other jewelry with stones of softer rocks next to it: the hawk's eye can deform them, change their appearance.
To clean the gems, use a soft cheek and soapy water. In order for the mineral to shine, it can be additionally wiped with a silk napkin; it is not necessary to use a hair dryer to dry the surface.
Thus, caring for the stone is simple and requires very little time.
It should be borne in mind that the hawk's eye is quite rare in nature, therefore it is very often faked - keep this in mind when buying jewelry with a gem.
It is better to make all purchases in a jewelry store - purchases on the market or from hands are always fraught with the risk of getting a fake. Most often, silicate glass is given out as a gem, and if a person has never seen a real hawk's eye before, then it will be almost impossible to understand where the real gem is and where the fake is.
To avoid deception, information about the stone should be studied in advance, carefully look at the images of the gem not only in the pictures, but also with your own eyes - only in this case you will be able to distinguish the fake from the original. The best way to identify a real mineral is to request a certificate. This document is issued when buying any expensive stones, which include hawk eyes.
However, such papers are available only in prestigious jewelry salons, which take care of the reputation and rights of buyers.
