Details
 Like the eye of a panther,
cat's-eye Chrysoberyl seems almost supernatural in origin. How could
something so feline be mineral and not animal? Cat's-eye Chrysoberyl, a
cousin of color-changing alexandrite, is a variety of Chrysoberyl which
has a distinct band of light across its face which sweeps from side to
side.
The color ranges from a honey-brown to an apple green with rich gold
colors generally the most valued. The most important value factor is the
strength and sharpness of the eye. Fine cat's-eye Chrysoberyl often also
shows the "milk and honey" effect. When a bright light source is
directed at the side of the stone, one side of the eye will be milky white
and the other remains gold. When the stone is rotated, the colors switch.
Cat's-eyes are especially popular in men's jewelry.
Cat's-eye Chrysoberyl has the presence of a familiar, a powerful talisman
that can direct fortune. Put it to work for you!
Chrysoberyl can also seen in a faceted variety, which has a honey-gold
color. It may remind you of yellow sapphire, topaz, or citrine.

Metaphysical
Since ancient times, chrysoberyl has
been regarded as a gemstone which protects its wearer and keeps disaster
at bay. The cat's eye most of all is seen as a particularly effective
protective stone and talisman. On account of its golden tones, chrysoberyl
is often also associated with wealth – and this idea is certainly not
without foundation, since in its most beautiful form as a high-quality
cat's eye it is up among the gemstones of the luxury class.
Discipline and self-control are the qualities mainly associated with
chrysoberyl in modern gemstone therapy. Chrysoberyls are said to promote
concentration and the ability to learn, and to enable the wearer to think
clearly and far-sightedly. Thanks to the secret power of the chrysoberyl,
negative thoughts are said to be transformed into positive energy. And
these positive qualities are said to be even more marked with a
chrysoberyl cat's eye. However, chrysoberyl is also regarded as a gemstone
which promotes tolerance and harmony, and it is one of the lucky stones
for those born under the sign of Leo.
Chrysoberyl is
said to assist one in striving for excellence, and to bring peace of mind
and increased self-confidence by helping one to more fully understand the
fact that one already has all that one needs to succeed within oneself.
