Cat’s eye quartz, also known as chrysoberyl cat’s eye or cymophane, is a rare gemstone variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. The name “cat’s eye” refers to the striking optical effect exhibited by the stone: a silvery or golden streak of light that shifts across the stone when you move it, just like a cat’s vertical pupil. This phenomenon is called chatoyance, and is caused by needle-shaped inclusions within the stone.
Cat’s eye is mainly found in countries such as Sri Lanka, Brazil, India and Madagascar, and has been regarded for centuries as a protective talisman against the evil eye, misfortune and negative influences.
