Chrysoberyl is the gemstone that produces the most distinct "cat's-eye," or chatoyance. If a person uses the name "cats-eye" without the name of another gemstone (for example, "cat's-eye tourmaline"), then he is most likely referring to chatoyant chrysoberyl. Cat's-eye chrysoberyl has also been called "cymophane."
The phenomenon of cat's-eye occurs in cabochon-cut stones that contain a high density of parallel fibrous inclusions. The "cats-eye" is a line of light that reflects from the dome of the cabochon at right angles to the parallel inclusions. The line of light is very similar to how a spool of silk thread will produce a line of reflection across the top of the spool as it is moved back and forth under a source of light.
