Cat’s Eye is a unique gemstone that is known for its distinct optical phenomenon known as chatoyancy. This gemstone is a variety of Chrysoberyl, a mineral that is often found in Sri Lanka, India, and Brazil.
The chatoyancy in Cat’s Eye is caused by the presence of microscopic inclusions that reflect light in a way that creates a narrow, bright band of light across the surface of the stone, similar to the slit-like pupils of a cat’s eye. The color of the stone can vary, but it is usually green, yellow, or brown.
