I bought a large chunk of it some time ago and slabbed it up. it has a bit more yellow than yours does in it but its very nice material. I love it and the cab I made and wrapped out of it sold fast after I listed it. Don't know if the material is sort of rare or what.
here is the info on what is the hawks eye Hawk's-eye consists of closely packed parallel crocidolite fibers that have been permeated and/or partially replaced by virtually colorless microcrystalline quartz. Crocidolite is the name applied widely to asbestiform (i.e., fibrous) riebeckite, which is an amphibole. Color - diverse blue hues, commonly grayish, less commonly greenish, typically striped H. crocidolite - 6; quartz - 7 S.G. 3.0-3.6

It has been my experience that the varigated tigereye will outshine both the blue and the gold tigereye. it is great material and I will buy whenever I can even if I don't need it
