Colour;

The classification of cats’ eye stones is on the basis of Chatoyancy or the Cats’ Eye effect. It is an optical occurrence in which gemstones show the ability to reflect a sharp line of light. When we rotate a cat’s eye stone and pass light through it, the image of opening and closing an eye is created. Its colours range from gold, honey, greenish-yellow, and yellowish-green to brownish-yellow.

Cut;

These are cut in a way to highlight or bring out the maximum effect of chatoyancy. One must place needles at a sharp 90-degree angle while cutting. To shape this gem, a very skilled cutter is required. To achieve maximum chatoyancy, it is cut into an oval or round shape.
