A market-wide average across qualities and sizes. Your stone's value depends on carat, color, clarity, cut, treatment, and origin.
Cat's eye chrysoberyl is a chatoyant variety of chrysoberyl in which aligned parallel inclusions—typically fine hollow tubes or needles—produce a sharp, bright line of reflected light across the surface, known as a cat's eye. The body color ranges from honey-yellow and greenish-yellow to brownish tones. With Mohs hardness 8.5 and good toughness, it is highly durable.
