Brazilian Cat’s Eye Tourmaline with a soft pink color and a sharp cat’s eye across the stone. The effect comes from fine parallel inclusions that reflect the light and create the moving band, known as chatoyancy.
Pink Tourmaline gets its color from manganese, and good cat’s eye material is much less common than standard pink Tourmaline.
