www.aypearl.com explain The Magical Cat’s Eye
Cat's eyes are genuine rarities which are found only in a few deposits in the world,
together with other varieties of chrysoberyl. One can hardly imagine that a gemstone
could wink like the eye of a cat in such a remarkably genuine way.
Is it magic, or Nature? What is it that causes this irresistibly beautiful show of light?
Scientists have discovered that very fine inclusions, deposited in the stone, are
responsible for this fascinating phenomenon. The incident light is reflected off them,
so that a bright strip of light appears, running perpendicular to the inclusions, similar
to the eye of a feline predator. fashion jewelry
When the stone is turned, this strip seems to glide away across the surface of the
stone. In technical terminology this phenomenon is known as 'chatoyancy', which
comes from the French 'chat' (for cat) and 'oeil' (for eye). Whilst chrysoberyls lacking
the cat's eye effect are mostly faceted, cat's eyes are always cut into cabochons, since
only tall, rounded shapes render the line of the eye properly visible. costume

its transparency. wholesale jewelry Fine cat's eyes should be of a distinctive
