My Generation, Handcrafted Necklace with a Cat's Eye Sterling Silver Pendant and assorted Crystals
Chrysoberyl is a hard, tough, and durable gem. Although lacking the fire of other gemstones, chrysoberyl gems are very valuable. Most chrysoberyl is yellow, and some are brown or green. Another expensive form of chrysoberyl is the unusual Cat's Eye variety. When polished as cabochons, these stones exhibit a narrow band of concentrated light along the width of the gem. This effect, known as the cat's eye effect, is caused by inclusions of fine, slender parallel mineral fibers in the gem. Chrysoberyl is the third-hardest frequently encountered natural gemstone and lies at 8.5 on the hardness scale, between corundum (9) and topaz (8).
