Cats Eye Bracelet

Cat’s Eye is a fascinating and captivating gemstone known for its unique optical effect called chatoyancy. The name “cat’s eye” is derived from the stone’s resemblance to the eye of a cat, with a thin band of light that appears to move across the surface when the stone is moved under light.

Cat’s Eye is a variety of chrysoberyl, a mineral composed of beryllium aluminum oxide. The chatoyancy in Cat’s Eye is caused by the presence of fine parallel needle-like inclusions of another mineral, often rutile or hematite. When light falls on these inclusions, it is reflected as a line of light, creating the cat’s eye effect.

The most well-known and valuable form of Cat’s Eye is golden yellow to greenish-yellow in color. However, Cat’s Eye can also be found in other colors, such as honey-brown, gray, and even black.
