Geologically, Hawk's Eye has a lower iron content than Tiger's Eye, which can help to distinguish the two similar materials. It is the oxidation of iron that turns Hawk's Eye into Tiger's Rye; iron turns the material more brown.

Tiger's Eye displays a chatoyancy (cat's-eye) when a polished stone is moved back and forth. It is a quartz gemstone, usually amber to brown in color, that forms when fibers of the mineral crocidolite are replaced by silica.
