If you have looked at all at the supply of Chrysoberyl cat's eye in the market, then you know that there is a huge range of qualities. From stones that are essentially opaque to those that show a fine level of gem transparency. This lovely example is at the top end of this range, a very gemmy stone with a fine, sharp eye. What is particularly fine about these Orissa stones is the intense bodycolor - vibrant chartreuse color that is quite different than the deeper colored brownish stones that hail from Sri Lanka. An exceptionally clean gem with a great eye, these are very hard to find.
