Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl

Cat’s-Eye Chrysoberyl from Sri Lanka, also known as Sri Lankan Cat’s-Eye, is a unique and highly coveted gemstone that is prized for its distinctive chatoyancy or “cat’s-eye effect.” This effect is created by the reflection of light off tiny parallel inclusions within the stone, which create a narrow band of light that appears to move across the surface of the gemstone.

As with all gemstones, the quality and value of Cat’s-Eye Chrysoberyl from Sri Lanka is determined by a number of factors, including the intensity of its colour, the clarity of the stone, and the strength and movement of the cat’s-eye effect.
