Collection: CATS EYE

The term "Cat's Eye" refers to the gemstone's remarkable chatoyancy, which resembles a cat's narrow, vertical pupil. This optical phenomenon, created by parallel mineral fibers, produces a bright strip of light across the stone.

Cat's Eye gemstones are chatoyant, meaning they have a bright band that looks like a cat's eye. They have a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, ranging from translucent to opaque. They are valued for their distinctive optical impact and longevity in jewelry because of their shine, which ranges from silky to vitreous.

Cat's Eye gemstones usually have a characteristic chatoyant ring that resembles a cat's eye with colors that include golden-yellow, greenish-yellow, honey-brown, and reddish-brown.
