Wellcome to Taprobane Jems
Sri Lanka, renowned for its
gemological diversity, is a significant producer of Cat's Eye gemstones, known
for their distinctive optical phenomenon called chatoyancy. Cat's Eye gemstones
are a type of chrysoberyl, a mineral species composed of beryllium aluminum
oxide.
The mesmerizing appearance of
Cat's Eye gemstones is attributed to parallel needle-like inclusions within the
stone, which, when properly oriented, create a luminous band of light across
the surface resembling the slit eye of a cat. This phenomenon, known as
chatoyancy, gives Cat's Eye gemstones their unique and captivating allure.
Sri Lanka's Cat's Eye gemstones
are highly esteemed for their fine quality and exceptional chatoyancy. The
stones typically exhibit colors ranging from golden yellow to greenish-yellow,
with the most prized specimens displaying a sharp and well-defined
"eye" that moves gracefully as the gemstone is rotated.
