AT GIA LAB FOR REPORT, WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A FEW WEEKS
A natural 4.24 carat cat's eye chrysoberyl in an oval cabochon, completely untreated, with a GIA report in progress. Cat's eye chrysoberyl is the most prized chatoyant gemstone — a phenomenon stone that displays a sharp, single band of light (the cat's eye) that glides across the dome of the cabochon as the stone is rotated. At 4.24 carats, this is a collector-grade specimen: cat's eye chrysoberyl above 3 carats with a sharp, well-defined eye and pending GIA documentation represents the premium tier of this phenomenon category. Chrysoberyl ranks 8.5 on the Mohs scale — harder than most gem species outside the corundum family.
Why Choose this 4.24 ct Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl?
Cat's eye chrysoberyl's chatoyancy phenomenon is caused by microscopic parallel needle-like inclusions aligned within the crystal — light reflects off these needles as a single sharp band. The finest examples show a strong, well-defined eye and a "milk and honey" effect: when illuminated from one side, half the dome appears lighter and half darker, divided by the moving band of the eye. The GIA report — once issued — will confirm the phenomenon, weight, dimensions, and treatment status.
