The real bull's eye stone belongs to the quartzite family. It is composed of silicon dioxide and crocidolite (mineral rock also called asbestos), which gives it its fibrous appearance.
During the crystallization of the bull's eye, crocidolite, composed essentially of iron, integrates silica and hydrothermal solutions. Through the process of pseudomorphosis, crocidolite transforms and loses its toxicity.
