Sunstone is a type of feldspar, its color is often attributed to the presence of tiny copper platelets or hematite inclusions within the stone.  The most common color of sunstone is a warm and vibrant orange or reddish-brown, often referred to as "Heliolite" due to its association with the sun. However, it can also occur in shades of yellow, pink, peach, and even green.

Sunstone is renowned for its unique optical phenomenon called adularescence. This effect creates a shimmering or glowing appearance on the surface of the stone, caused by the reflection of light from within the inclusions.  It is relatively durable, with a hardness ranging from 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. While it's suitable for jewelry, care should be taken to avoid rough handling and exposure to extreme conditions.

Sunstone is associated with warmth, positive energy, and leadership qualities. It's thought to bring joy, vitality, and encourage independence and originality.

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.

Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is believed to possess metaphysical properties associated with protection, intuition, and good fortune. Some traditions consider it a talisman for enhancing insight and awareness.

Treatment:

• Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is typically untreated. The chatoyancy is a natural occurrence caused by inclusions within the crystal.
