The distinctive "cat's eye" effect in this Chrysoberyl is caused by the reflection of light off parallel needle-like inclusions within the crystal. When the gem is cut en cabochon, a concentrated, bright band of light appears to move across the surface as the stone is rotated.
Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl comes in various colors, with green, yellow, and golden-brown being common. The most valuable specimens often exhibit a honey or honey-green color. It is a durable gemstone, scoring 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it suitable for various types of jewelry.
Significant sources of Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl include Sri Lanka, Brazil, India, Myanmar, and Madagascar. Sri Lankan stones, in particular, are renowned for their exceptional cat's eye effects.
