Genuine bull's eye stone belongs to the quartzite family. It is composed of silicon dioxide and crocidolite, which gives it its fibrous appearance.
During the crystallization of bull's eye, crocidolite, composed primarily of iron, incorporates silica and hydrothermal solutions. Through the process of pseudomorphosis, crocidolite transforms and loses its toxicity.
It is possible to come across a bull's eye stone that is actually a tiger's eye stone heated by human hands to give it its incredible red and dark red colors.
However, the heating phenomenon can occur in nature. This bull's eye stone may result from a metamorphic transformation due to a change in the physical and chemical elements of its geological environment. It has evolved according to changes in pressure and temperature. It therefore naturally displays this beautiful reddish-brown color.
Thus, it appears that bull's eye stone, heated by humans or in its natural environment, has the same properties. This stone has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. In comparison, diamonds have the highest hardness, at 10 on the same scale.
