THE WORLDS SITE OF EMERALD CAT´S EYE
Among the most intriguing members of the gem kingdom are those reflecting bright bands of light that form stars and cat's eyes. This optical phenomenon, called chatoyancy, is caused by light reflecting off of parallel bundles of tiny hollow tubes or fibrous crystals of
another mineral inside the gemstone. When a properly oriented stone is cut into a rounded shape, called a cabochon, the reflected light is focused into bright bands on the surface that are perpendicular to each set of fibers or hollow tubes (similarly, a hand of light can be observed perpendicular to the threads on a spool of thread held under a bright light).
Cat's eyes are best admired under sunlight or some other point light source. Multiple light sources each produce a star or cat s eye on the stone, giving it a fuzzy or unfocused look. The chatoyancy might disappear completely on a cloudy day or under fluorescent lights. The best star stones exhibit a well-centered line with equal
intensity, and a uniform and attractive body color. Emerald Cats Eye, are very very rare an only come from Brazil and Colombia, in Colombia has been found the best specimens with good emerald color, the only mine that produce Cats Eye in Colombia is Coscuez in the corte "La marranera", there is a lot of time that this mine don't produce Cats Eye, and by now only the gems owned by Collectors are able to the marked
